Im a newbie! So pardon if this has been asked before, but for the life of me I cant figure it out and cant find any help via search. I’ve built an AWESOME pack from items at The Dollar Store. I’ll post a pic soon. But first, how to I attach the Motherboard/Pack to the Alice frame? I just cant seem to figure it out since the Alice frame is not totally flat in places and given its shape. Any help is ubber appreciated! -Brady ---

Good question. I’m still trying to figure that out myself. ---

So far, all I can think of as a “Plan B” is to drill a few holes and attach with some zipties. But really dont want to do it that way, I dont think. -Bady ---

it depends on the material you are using. im using a wood mb so i was able to drill holes in it that lined up with the ones that were already in the alice pack. search over on [proptopia](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/fans/websites/proptopia) too. cause the way i did is no where near “movie accurate” ---

I dont think my Alice frame has holes? Can you take pics of what you did? -Brady ---

I used a wooden [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard), so I used existing holes on the ALICE pack. At the top I used some of that metal strapping with holes to secure it. I wrapped the top of the frame with pipe insulation, and zip tied it secure. It is comfortable, and solid. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/4/b/4b93eca8cea01c5eca4ed18e1df9377bd924683a.jpeg) Top of Pack ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/b/3/b353b96c8e3132e90f6b49d7c39d0c31838bf80f.jpeg) Bottom of Pack ---

You have to drill a few holes in the metal cross section of the Alice frame and corresponding holes into your wood [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard). Use threaded T-nuts on the backside of the motherboard, they look like this… And use round, steel standoffs between the Alice frame and [the other side](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/publications/comics/ghostbusters-the-other-side) of the motherboard… The frame is attached by long bolts that go through the stand offs and screw into the t-nuts, thus giving the Alice frame a 3" rise or thereabouts. I’ll expand on this later. 😉 Darrin ---

Hmmmm… then I might have a problem because my [Motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) is not blank, it has all the stuff on it already… -Brady ---
