LC-2 ALICE Frame Straps & Kidney Pad Installation Tutorial for Ghostbusters Proton Pack

A step-by-step tutorial for putting straps and a kidney pad on an LC-2 ALICE pack frame. These were used on the proton packs in Ghostbusters II. Frames were painted black to match the LC-1 frames used on the proton packs in the first Ghostbusters movie.

Well done sir…..not an easy thing to describe and you did a very good job. I have three packs all disassembled and it was flustering me trying to sort it all out

Thanks, glad you found it helpful.

[@JaceD4V1S88]

im just gonna use the hasbro straps for the alice frame temporarily and this helped so much as ive never done this before. thanks so much!!

[@j.wilson641]

Exactly what I was looking for!! Thanks!

Excellent tutorial, thanks from the UK

[@andrecanis4894]

I might be wrong, but I think you go *outward* through the hole with the bottom of the shoulder strap instead of inward. It's not much of a difference and difficult to tell from screenshots, but it's also what the original ALICE frame instructions say. Also, without your video I wouldn't have thought to check the straps on the LC-2 pack I just got, and indeed the left and right were switched on my pack, so thanks!

Very straight forward video. Super easy. Thank you so much.

That Video answered a lot of questions for me. THX!

This guy is like the Bob Ross for Ghostbusters

I located the original LC1 strap setup instructions, they actually tell you to insert the bottom end of the strap through the FROM the INSIDE. It doesn’t make a huge difference, looks a bit better though.

Egon would be proud!!

I have a couple real LC-2's and they also come with a small clasp strap that connects both shoulder pads on the bottom part near the holes. It's similar to the kidney pad strap that connects it to the frame but it just kind of dangles there.

[@sophielegaudiet8699]

How do you reassemble just the shoulder straps I’m having a really arc time with that portion. We dissembled everything like nothing attached.?

[@turtlesquad88]

Thank youuu

[@eltonjohnson]

Trying to figure out the best way to control for all the 'flappy' slack from the kidney pad's attached waist straps that clip in front. I'm not a big dude (size 32 waist), so there's a lot swingin' when I cinch the strap nice and snug (but not TOO snug). Any suggestions? It's nylon, so I think it can be cut and melted, but if there's a more practical way to control for it where the risk of me ruining it (or burning my place down) is lower, I'm all ears!

[@gooby8953]

That's how the pack frame is supposed to be

[@eltonjohnson]

@@gooby8953 I think it’s nylon so I’ll probably just melt cut them then fold over and sew.

[@kurtrussell5228]

Cut it off

[@Anguawolf007]

Good idea on the video, but I am having questions how the kidney pad actually connects properly. In this video, almost everything done with it is hidden by the pad itself. A better camera angle would help a lot. Maybe a camera person. But it is what it is.

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

I appreciate the feedback. I need to reshoot it. It’s one of my first uploads from about 3 years ago.

[@tralfazimus]

This is excellent, thank you! I would also second the comment about the kidney strap being more visible when actually attaching it. I really appreciate you making this-so helpful!

[@romelohdz]

Can you put a Alice pack on a p68 frame ?

[@TheProtonPackIsNotAToy]

I don’t know. I just know what’s accurate to Ghostbusters proton packs.
