I know what I’m doing with my [N-Filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) now. Thanks for the inspiration. ---

Did you [n-filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) come unattached, Steve, or did you cut if off yourself? I wish I had that kind of room to work on my filter. 😢 ---

I thought the same thing. Having someone hold my pack up while I messed with it was annoying… ---

Some asked me how my [N-Filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter) is made. I mentioned it in my construction thread ([Spengler28 Proton Pack - Pack Almost Done - Proton Packs - GBFans.com](http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=21843)) but here’s a summary. My N-Filter is made ??of 2 PVC coupler and a PVC cap, the 3 measures 2.75 "OD. I bought at a hardware store (Canadian Tire), but they must sell them in all good hardware stores in the plumbing section . Firstly I cut one of the couplers to fit perfectly on my [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron). I filled the gap with some mighty putty that i sanded. ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_N-Filter2.jpg) Second, I cut the second coupler to the correct length and I glued the 3 parts together. Then we mark the locations for the holes and start drilling. This part is the longest, I start with a tiny bit and I pierce through with bit bigger and bigger, until 1 / 2 ". ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_N-Filter3.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_N-Filter4.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_N-Filter5.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_N-Filter6.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_N-Filter8.jpg) And yeah my N-Filter is full removable, it fixed to the cyclotron with a 1/4 bolt and another fixed to the shell with another 1/4 bolt (My cyclotron arnt molded on the shell) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_N-Filter9.jpg) Voila, its more “long” to do than hard ---

After having received and installed my new Arcoelectric [Hat lights](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/hat-lights) (thanks to AJ again) I decided to improve my Shock mount. It has been shown that the bellows were made ??of brass with an aluminum cap. So I started to paint the “bellow” part with gold paint to give him a look of brass. ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_Shock1.jpg) I applied some black paint with a cloth and then wiped. creating a dirty looking ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_Shock2.jpg) Put a lot of Fuller earth and installed back, easy to do ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_Shock3.jpg) ![image]([http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek\_2007/Proton](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/Manzarek_2007/Proton) Pack\_Shock4.jpg) The last update i would like to do is replacing my custom SMC Elbow for some real [Legris](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/legris) gen 1 but i didnt find any of them yet, and i think ill never never find them… 😊 ---
