I machined up three
LED 'plugs' for R5's eyes.
Material used was
Polypropylene [plastic]. I measured up the hole and made the plugs as snug a
fit as possible. I try to look ahead (lol no pun intended), and if I need to
take his eyes off his head/dome again in the future, I want it to be a simple,
painless process. The last set of LED's I hot glued the leads in place to the
inside of his head, which ment trying to uninstall them a bit of a pain. With
these plugs, The LED's will be hot glued into them and the 'plugs' push fitted
into the rear of the Eyes, actually the rear 'spy-hole' locking ring. See pic
for a clearer understanding lol.
The brass ring spacer(s) helps to stop the rear of the spy-hole unit from being pulled through the wood dome skin.
