For the record I am no machinist, but it’s be real fun trying to make these.
 
So I’ve gotten a lot of PMs about the Soloshold mystery chunk upgrade.

I have a box here with all the parts but haven’t had time to even open it. I can assure you I already have a easy plan on how to attach the mystery chunk and cone knob

Don’t worry it’s super simple, possibility doing a video this weekend

Will you be doing a video review of Solo's Hold 'The Real Hero'?
Looks like they are about to ship, and I always enjoy your super in-depth reviews :)

I’d like to keep this thread for the builders kit, but since the builders kit didn’t have a mystery chunk I figured I’d post the upgrade here

As for my SH v2 review, have you subscribed to my YouTube channel? I’m starting filming tonight for it, and probably have it up this weekend. It’s pretty in-depth and I’m hoping to be able to shade some light on how it all came to be (mystery chunk reveal)

The review I won’t post here because I want to keep this for starkiller, but I will be posting a how to on the mystery chunk attachment

The SH v2 review I’ll share on YouTube and Facebook original trilogy group, and thereblearmory forum

Thank you for the support! Much appreciated!! ;)
 
Neat, I'll be eagerly awaiting your take on it. I was surprised at how similar the emitters were
 
Scottjua has mentioned on his patreon in the next couple of days he’s releasing a new video series. he is now going to do interviews with people in the prop community. I’ve been told his first guest is a Mr Brandon Alinger!

If anything now is the time to become a second tier patron, can’t wait to see this new series of Scott’s!
 
I'm really about to start painting my production era-ish V3 with my V3 emitter, What windvane color would you use Halliwax? I'm kinda leaning toward the antique gold from ace. You mentioned the V2 leather brown, too.
 
Halliwax - Thanks again for your guides. I've just bought a builder kit for myself. As I'm from the UK it's hard to get the right drill peices for the Solo's Hold greeblies.

What size drill bits are you using for the cone and mystery chunk before you tap them?

Eg. for the mystery chunk I used an m2 drill bit, tapped that with a 3/48 tap I found on ebay and the grub didn't go in. I then tried an m2.5 drill bit, tapped it and again the grub's not going in. I'm assuming I need something that's not metric. M3 will be too big.

Thanks in advance.
 
You need a number 47 drill bit

I always buy 2 at a time, they tend to break very easy at that small size..

That goes for the drill bit and taps I always buy 2 at a time

I don’t remember off hand and have to check my notes on the soloshold knob.. I believe it’s a 6/32 screw if so you need a number 35 drill bit
