Retrofire Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Ok which one of you Ewok lovers can point me to where I can find what I need to do to build a revised new screen accurate TD for Lancer? Honestly though I could use some help here. I've found a few threads but nothing concrete. Not sure if I need to break new ground here, which might be fun, or if there is something already defined. Many thanks! 1 Quote
Stroker Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I wrapped RJ 11 telephone cable around a 1.25" od hose black in color. I just used my SC TD because that's about the best we can get here in the states. Quote

StoutScout Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Thanks a ton Tim that really helps! This flat RJ-11 chord looks promising: https://www.amazon.com/Gray-Plastic-Noodles-Telephone-Cable/dp/B00MJU3N8K Quote

Stroker Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 No problem. I got mine off ebay for around $4 shipped. It's a light gray color matches up perfect with the screen used stuff. Also atleast get 25'. Quote

Stroker Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 I used 24'.5" on mine. Youll use way more than you think. That's why I went to eBay and bought mine. $4 for 25'. Quote
StoutScout Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 Are you getting new end caps or just repurposing your old ones? If going the new route are you just buying from SC or some other source? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk Quote

Thanks Tim I'll head back over change my order to get a longer strand. Are you getting new end caps or just repurposing your old ones? If going the new route are you just buying from SC or some other source? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk No. I'm going to repurpose the old ones. I'll use my trusty heat gun to make the caps convex. Jeff over at SC has awesome service and if I mess these up I'll hit him up for a new set. 1 Quote
Stroker Posted December 14, 2016 Posted December 14, 2016 I've been asked about my end caps. Mine are MC that already have the convex to them. The SC caps all you need to do is them up a bit and take a ball and lightly press in to make the concave. 2 Quote
