Well i will start my pack build thread. Not a lot going on at this time but it`s a start. I have a few things on order. And will be making a GB 1 style pack.
I will post photos of the item once i have it in hand and as i go along, And asking for info on what parts i need to buy next..
Tonight my mate as fitted my replica sound sound chip onto a pcb board for me. As he done this i located some white pistol belts on the net cheap so i ordered 4. and some dye.
As i got a few items from M M M i looked at the Best Reference Photos Ever Available!!! and started drilling my resistors. i drilled out the guts of the small resistor so i can insurt the yellow pipe into it.
advise
the item conected to the end of the ion arm with the 2 brass tubes and ally block, how should it be on a gb1 pack..
or can someone post me photos of a gb1 ion arm with all parts fitted to it.

Just got my shock mount knob.
and changed my mind on the speakers in the pack due to size of the motherboard. I have now got a pair of jl audio 4.5 inch.
I used the pictures posted by Filandriu’s in his pack build for creating mine. I have seen some with the brass elbows on the aliminium part of the ion arm that has the brass rod attached to it and some have the brass elbow on the main body of the ion arm. Not sure which way is correct. I did mine the way in the pics as it was easier to drill and tap into the resin part rather than the aluminium piece.
I think in GBII the ion arm has a long dale resistor on it which has dale written on it. I ordered i full set of resin parts off Nick-a-tron and i got 2 large resistors he said you can use either one depending if your building a GB1 or GBII pack.
The yellow hose by the way is hard to come by. I got some off Nick-a-tron. He sells a full kit of hose required to build one pack but it does not come with the yellow hose as he doesn’t normally have it. I might of had a spare piece that he had left over from his build. I might have a piece of it left that should be big enough if i have i can send it you if you like.
sbonse’s ion arm is a GB2 style. The GB1 ion arm has a square clippard fitting attached directly to the aluminum block instead of the hex fitting in in the arm.
I answered your PM but added the reply to my thread rather than keeping it as a PM! I figured it was good information for EVERYONE so pointless hiding it away in a private message!
Edit: Also the waist ■■■■■■■■ your ALICE frame is a GB2 style one. GB1 was much thinner and had a different type of buckle!
