How To Mod the HasLab Proton Pack: Clippard & Ring Terminals Upgrade

[@TGoRetro]

Ooh, I might have to order the Clippard plate to replace the 3D printed one I currently have. This one looks like it blends in better!

[@lorddeez1385]

Always look forward to seeing yalls updates. This pack is sick!

[@joelbeckley7924]

Awesome!! Look forward to seeing your pack progress.

Thinking about doing this mod but I’m not sure if I want to deal with the headache of ripping out the fake copper wires. Real Clippard valve is already installed I just gotta get the longer screws

[@NerdAffiliated]

Man, I wish I could eye ball stuff like that. I’d be off enough, that nothing I drilled would line up. 😂

[@PaladinChristof]

It just takes practice and in fairness, I kinda cheated as far as eyeballing that hole. Once you nip the stud that the fake Clippard mounts onto you have a really clean circle right around the spot you want to drill into, and it's pretty easy to center up on and punch.

[@valdivia8383]

I know you mentioned you had. 10/32 screw. Do you remember where you purchased it? Bout to get the clippard disk cover

[@Gregors85]

Amazon or Home Depot carries them.

[@valdivia8383]

@@Gregors85 awesome, I have the real clippard valve currently on my pack. I don’t need to drill any more when I get the clippard disk or 10/32 screws?

[@raynekraven]

once the rumble motor is removed, is it possible to install somethin else using the plug on the circuit board?

[@Gregors85]

Absolutely! And you Even turn it on and off using the switch on the inside of the cyclotron.

[@raynekraven]

@@Gregors85 that is great to know!

[@BrandonFosterVhegha]

What copper wired are those?

[@Gregors85]

They can with a kit made by SR designs. Noe sure what type of wire it is

[@PaladinChristof]

They're 16ga brown silicon wire, with a set of crimp on ring terminals and Copper tape on the ends.

[@Aliasnode]

I wish there was a way to remove it without ruining the pack. I want to alter mine to look more GB1 style, but also dont want to destroy anything on it. Really hoping they decide to release a 1984 version this year for the 40th.

[@The_Y33TER]

Gotta say, I love this series. However. You do know you’re horribly butchering Clippard, right?

[@The_Y33TER]

As well as this, why did you not just use a utility knife or something to just cut the stubborn rubber bits to begin with…?

[@Gregors85]

Haha. What do you mean by "horribly butchering Clippard"?

[@The_Y33TER]

@@Gregors85Respectfully, pronunciation is a little off. Y’all pronounced it “Clip-pard”, whereas I believe it is supposed to be pronounced “Clip-perd” goofy stuff.

[@tekkamanblade2244]

HARD pass for me

[@Gregors85]

All good dude! If you're not interested in the copper terminal wires, there's an alternative method you might enjoy of just removing them from the pack all together
