Hi all

Long time fan and finally taking the plunge into the forum and desire to see what fun an unlicensed nuclear accelerator can be. I have been busy rebuilding and upgrading a pack I picked up from a disastrous shipping fail that raked most of the upper left of the pack off. The forum has been an enormous help on working out some of the details and bring it back from the brink. Its not perfect, but here is the progress so far.

Gosh, you wouldn’t know it’d taken a hit if you hadn’t mentioned it… Do you have a “before” photo for comparison?

Will you be planning to remove/update the Shock Mount on the [bumper](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/bumper)? (the stacked washers between the four red circular lights)

The shock mount is one item yet to replace. There are a number of variations I have seen in both metal and resin. I still haven’t decided on one. Here are a couple of pics of the damage on the top of the pack. The shell corner under the ion tower was crushed and needed some reinforcement, but I think it ended up stronger than its original form.
