Ketchup Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Hey there everyone! Long time no post for me. I am finally on some good ADHD meds that are helping me get costume stuff done! I am finishing up my scout after... **gulp** almost ten years of having it? One of the final bits I need are the Lancer-spec concave visor bolts. I had a set of the 3M bolts, but they do not fit in the Altmann because they have a square protrusion below the cap and before the screw, which will not fit into the Altmann bolt location. I heard Spike had Lancer-spec bolt covers for them, but I am waiting to hear back from him, so I thought I might source possible solutions from Lancers with Altmann lids. Many thanks in advance! Hope to be officially among y'all soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketchup Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 You know, it hadn't occurred to me that there is probably a 3D print file of the thing nowadays... **facepalm** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pretty easy modification that took less than 10 minutes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will need to find some replacement 3M bolts... mine disappeared into the ether some time ago. I'm sure there's a thread here for them. Thanks for the advice!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketchup Posted November 30, 2022 Author Share Posted November 30, 2022 I just found the ImperialSurplus bolt kit thread. I'm actually pretty sure that's where I got them years ago! Thanks again, Mickey! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
