RE: KMP / YT FW-190 Build Thread
Since no one including myself liked the door collars KMP sent with their retracts I spent some time tonight building my own.
I used .50 BMG case necks for the brass sleeves as I have one I have an abundant supply of shells, and I used old computer
motherboard stand offs for the mounts. Then used trust automotive JB weld to hold things together. Now keep in mind I still have
to do some minor sanding and find a close paint color for the gear and install the brake line before I'm finished with this one but you
get the idea.
Oh almost forgot I still have to do something about these wheels and fabricate the upper lock down scissors but I think it looks better than
the bulky aluminum blocks.
Also I know the upper mount is not like the real FW but I figured I built 3 collars why not make them all match. Seems like a lot of work but
the less money I spend on the retracts the more I have to spend on other accessories.
