Hey there rgriesbeck Vers. 3 Deckard Fans! I`m slowly at work doing rgriesbecks Deckard. What a fantastic Kit. Atm I am waiting for my wiring Buddy to do up the LED wiring Kit. While I am waiting, I decided to ponder the Amber grips install, to make it a foolproof install when the time comes. As you can see.... Soulinertias Amber grips are beautiful. I use a glue called Special "T" HotStuff cynoacrylate (Green Label). It is like a thick honey. Bonds FAST.
It can easilly get messy and ya don`t want any to get on your grips. I decided to use rgriesbecks 3D printed grips as a drill template. Taped them in position on the inner grip frame rail. Using a 3/16ths drillbit, drilled just through the 1 side of the rail. Took that grip off, and repeated on the other side. Making sure the 3D printed grip was exactly where it should be. If you try this mod, make sure your 3D printed grips are exactly where you want them, before your drill. Removed the last grip, and Then I used a 3/16th diameter plastic dowel and positioned it in the new grip pin holes. I left 1/8th showing on either side. The Soulinertia Amber grips and 3D printed grips holes are 3/16th fyi. In the pic showing, the Amber Grips are only being friction held on atm with the pins. Easy install positioning when the time comes. Hope this might be helpful to anyone Deckard enough to attempt this great rgriesbeck Vers. 3 Kit!. ;p
All gun parts primered and sanded to 600 wet. ;p
