I just discovered your channel about a week ago. and I really had a lot of fun going through all of your videos. Awesome work.

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

Thank you!

Too late now, but the easiest way to pop out those screw covers on the wand is to take a small knife, like a pocket knife, and heat up the blade for just a second with a lighter, then just stick it ever so slightly into the cover and it instantly cools and when you pull it out, off comes the cover with it. And you can put them back on after as well.

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

I never would’ve known that. Thanks for sharing. I’ll probably putty over it and paint it.

Mine is coming in next month, I can't wait to install it on mine. Update: I got my V-hook the other day, I installed it and it's so much better than the Hasbro one. I got the GB2 version, for some reason there are small holes drilled near the corners on the gun block. Other than that, it was a near perfect fit, I clipped off the posts and sanded them down flat. The screws that came with the V-hook were a little short but we're still long enough to secure with the nuts and washers that came with it. I also used the original screws on the neutrona wand, I just used a drill bit to grind out the holes on the hook to make them fit a little better.

I like it man, good job as always

[@calebgoessling3190]

I really appreciate you showing this. I was thinking about doing the same thing, but I was worried about buying the wrong hardware.

[@RageONTv]

Great improvement!!!

[@InsidetheBoothTV]

Great video thanks for sharing Matt

You don't need to take the gun track off to replace the vhook. This is a completely unnecessary step. The gbfans vhook is a direct replacement with no need to take anything apart on the wand, other than taking the 2 Phillips head screws out of the stock hook.

[@Maeldulian]

How are the screws that hold the v-hook attached to the wand itself? Do they just screw in, or is there some sort of nut on the inside of the wand holding them in? I'm hesitant to unscrew my wand to install the gb fans v-hook if this means I would need to do any further disassembly other than removing the 2 screws.

[@Reaper57420]

@christestai714 yeah they just screw in. There are no nuts or washers on the interior

[@stigmajosh]

Well I did mine wrong but its on there and is more secure. The only one who would ever notice is me anyway.

[@Webhead123]

So, you mentioned that the female bracket will mount to the thrower with the stock HasLab screws but it seems the male bracket doesn't fit to the mounting holes on the pack. Is that correct? I'm trying to avoid doing any drilling on my pack and was just curious. Thanks, as always!

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

It was only off by a millimeter or two. If you don’t want to drill on the pack, you can slightly widen the holes on the brackets. They are both very close.

[@matthewlantz7481]

Matt, were you using the GB 1 or GB 2 V Hook from GB Fans?

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

GB2, that’s the version used on the Afterlife packs.

[@shadowvolvo]

I need help removing the nuts I tried needle nose pliers but it doesn’t work please help

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

Maybe spray a little WD40 on there. I felt those screws stripping easily, and I was barely able to get one loose. Have something that can grip the head of the screw, maybe pliers on the screw head and needle nose on the nut inside.

[@shadowvolvo]

@@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy what about a socket wrench to use inside of the pack to remove the v-hook will the wd40 still help?

[@bonorbitz]

Why is v-hook so expensive?

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

Steel pieces built to screen used prop specs. Sometimes quality costs more.

[@andy86i]

Have you heard about the stay alive mod just dropped today?

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

No.

[@andy86i]

@@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy have a look on Proton Pack Modders, its the Patrick Conlon always on mod
