Hey all,
So…after a good few years of not touching my proton packs, I’ve finally got them out of storage and looking to start building this week.
My newest pack is a Benofkent kit which is going to be my main pack.
My question is, which of these bumpers do you think I should use…
I have a Nickatron bumper and the Benofkent bumper that came with my proton pack kit.
Bens bumper is slightly shorter on the arms than the Nickatron bumper but which would you say is most accurate…how big of a space should there be between the bumper and the cyclotron??
Also, is it best to drill the holes and mount the bumper to the pack and then use the central hole of the bumper to drill through the cyclotron? I’m worried that drilling a central hole in the cyclotron won’t match up with my bumper.
And one last thing, below are the bumpers mounted on loosely.
It almost seems to me that Nickatron bumper is further over to the left. If you look at the top right of the square of the bumper, you can see it’s further over to the left than the Benofkent bumper. I know this can sometimes be down to warping…what do you think??
Which looks better to you? I’m swaying towards using the Benofkent bumper.
Sorry for such a stupid sounding question, I’m just really worried about this part of my build and want to get it right first time.
Thanks in advance!
