John W Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Hey , I have a MonCal armor set that I am assembling. The thermal det is a hose. I am supposed to drill and put the screws into the hose . I don’t think there is enough real estate for the screws to purchase to hold over time . Has anyone filled the hose with a resin or put a dowel rod in there for rigidity to give the belt clips purchase ? New to this hobby / lifestyle. All help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 When I affixed my clips to the det tubing, I used pop rivets with a metal washer inside the tube. Then afterwards I glued the caps on. I would not recommend adding resin or a dowel rod to the tubing as it will greatly increase the weight and you don't need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John W Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 Nice . Did you take a torch to the clips or cold bend them ? Thanks for the response . 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I cold bent the end to fit. Was pretty easy with just a pair of pliers and didn't take much effort to do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
