Ok so same effect with the white one..

After doing fit to page i get .63

 

[bigv69er]

Based on images I have with rulers lined up on key parts, on the RD Mags, the measurement along the bottom of the letters, from the bottom left corner of the N to the bottom right corner of the E is 29.5 mm or 1.16142 inches (Between 10 and 11 64ths)

And measured ALONG the length of the left side of the N it is 15 mm high.

...15mm is .591 inches. If that measurement is ALONG the letters rather than through them, I'd say you're dead on.

So your saying these are the right size??

 

[bigv69er]

Sorry.. These Nick..

They are .590

Yup! Here's a shot of the RD with the tape measure copied and rotated to make it easier to see the measurement.

Ok using your file..

Normal mode gives me same size and effect..

If i do make it fit to page.. I get bigger size. .62 or 5/8"

So i guess i have to make it fit page

Mine ended up almost dead-on 5/8" from top to bottom of the letters.

I don't know how accurate that is vs the real mags. They work for me.

Yeah.. They are pretty much the same.. Just a tiny difference

Glad my obsessive hoarding of Mag pictures was able to help. haha

...and if you're serious, I'd love a set of transparencies. I've got my HC Mags coming in this week so it would be nice to check one component off my list.

Hey guys just wanted to share pics of my recent work on the HC's.
I didn't remove my original straps yet instead I created knew ones from leather and placed them over the original straps.

I will change this in the future but think I will wait till i perfect the leather straps.

That's not bad considering the HC strap is in there. Another interesting solution I saw, the guy just installed everything into the HC strap. so that's possible too.

I bought vinyl for my strap. I want the no-stitch look.

 

[Cobrakai22]

Just got my hc mags in from the new batch. Did the toe slim mod and tried slimming the side ribbing as much as I could.

I have my tester strap I made that is GITD but getting my el in tmrw so hopefully will have my straps done asap.

Also waiting on matkpoon's logos to come in.

I would like to go in and re wire the sole and led but I am a little overwhelmed at the moment haha. The wiring is different on the HC correct? Isn't the on off on the v2 up on the collar?

 

[DragonGalvy]

in the V2's, the on/off switch and the charging plug are behind the white heel cup.

 

[glasses]

Did my straps and finished one tongue (right)

 

[Cobrakai22]

Looking good glasses! I been reading this thread for some of the mods you have done as your pair has been coming out great. Can you explain a little more about how you diffused the lights?

i see the material you used but exactly where did you put it? Just in front the light? Is it a small sheet or is it a bunch stuffed in?

any more insight would be amazing!

 

[cavx]

glasses they look so much better than when you first got them. Good job. I like the extended tongue too. Good length. Did you do that or have someone make that?

The wiring for these and the V2s should be exactly the same - AKA crap.
