Please forgive me if this is addressed somewhere in this sea of forums. I was a bit overwhelmed and figured I should just ask my question rather than seach for who knows how long. I noticed the sale going on right now and figured I should finally get the stuff I need to add to my [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) (I still can’t believe I own one!). The thing is, I’m not entirely sure where some things go because I’m not familiar with what certain parts of the pack are called. For instance, the [Clippard brass elbow](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/clippard-brass-elbow) goes on the [ion arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm)… what’s the ion arm? And where does this go? > **[Pack: Aluminum Welded Injectors](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/proton-pack/aluminum-welded-injectors)** > > Pack: Aluminum Welded Injectors - available at the GBFans.com Shop. Is there some sort of chart that can show me where every piece goes? I think that would be quite helpful to go with the menu of items for purchase. Also, this description has me confused… > **[Pack: Clippard Brass Elbow](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/proton-pack/clippard-brass-elbow)** > > Pack: Clippard Brass Elbow - available at the GBFans.com Shop. This is used in _3_ places… I get both pieces (doesn’t both read as two?)… and then it says sold individually… What?? ---

Research and study the reference section of the site. You’ll figure it all out. [http://www.gbfans.com/equipment/proton-pack/](http://www.gbfans.com/equipment/proton-pack/) ---

The brass elbow is actually 2 pieces, the fitting and the hose barb that screws into it. Technically they’re seperate pieces but you get both when you order one. The hose barbs on their own were also used on the thrower. As Nassik said, study the reference secton’s pack page and the part names page here: [http://www.gbfans.com/equipment/proton-pack/part-names/](http://www.gbfans.com/equipment/proton-pack/part-names/). Then check out some of the builds in the pack index thread to see how things go together: [http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=28621](http://www.gbfans.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=28621) ---

The third is on the [ion arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm) but only on the gb2 packs ---

Set aside a couple hours and research the pack, and soon your head will be full of information that is completely useless to anyone outside this community, just like the rest of us. 😃 ---

Research is key to an awesome pack … ---

When I started planning my second pack build, I printed every page of the three major plans (Norm’s, Sean’s, and Stefan’s) and put them in a binder together. I spent time reading every part of the plans. This helped me Learn the names of every component, its placement on the pack, and its relationship to other parts. That way, when I have a question for the forum, I barely have to think about it to reference it by name. Believe it or not, if you live with this stuff long enough, you will be able to imagine every minute detail of your pack (even the parts you haven’t built yet!) I’m still in the process of building my new pack, but I guarantee having a “map/plan” burned into your brain will help you greatly when putting things together in the physical world. ---
