Hi Guy's,
Hope you don't mind me jumping in?
Here's one of the SG battery conversions I did recently, sorry about the poor picture.
All I did was;
Cut the inner section roughly to size.
used epoxy resin to glue the outer and inner sections together.
Used car body filler to fill up the ends.
Sanded both ends flush.
Found and marked the centre of each circular face.
Drilled holes about 5mm deep, the same diameter as the mono-jack plugs.
Sprayed the whole thing with grey primer, then airbrushed it with humbrol Bess Brown (takes a while to dry, doesn't it!
)Once dry, I sprayed the whole thing with an automotive clear laquer.
Finally, I glued the jack plugs in place with epoxy resin.
For the other one I'm converting I have done exactly the same except;
To give the jack plugs extra strength I have used a length of brass tube that has a fractionally greater diameter than the plugs.
I then cut it to length, cleaned out the innards of the battery and used it as a core within the battery body, it should give the plugs a better chance of surviving a knock!
Cheers,
Andy.
