scope 3 Posted April 15, 2012 While waiting on the right Daytona parts I have started a 5512 build on the cheap. I have started with a 5512 Josh budget and have a Ingod dial on the way. Used a smaller crown which is sunken closer to the case and just have a little more polishing to do.I have drilled the lugs and installed the correct spring bars and a J@K T19 plexi. Let me know what you think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amit 72 Posted April 29, 2012 Dude that a really nice build. Did you do any work to the CG's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scope 3 Posted April 29, 2012 Yeah, Josh's crown guards are pretty stubby so I changed the crown to a smaller one and sank it as close to the case as i could get and turned it into a pointed crown guard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trolex 0 Posted May 2, 2012 Is this for a 21j? Any chance you could link to where you got the shorter crown? Looks great! Will take a closer look when I'm not viewing on my cell, but everything looks perfect on this little screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scope 3 Posted August 2, 2012 How did you drill the lugs? i have a bench drill but don't think it would be accurate enough I used a cordless drill very slowly with a 1.6mm bit.Went through 3 bits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLaForce 2 Posted August 3, 2012 How did you drill the lugs? i have a bench drill but don't think it would be accurate enough I used a cordless drill very slowly with a 1.6mm bit.Went through 3 bits Lol I did the same on my 6152...3 bits I was wondering if am I doing this wrong?? Even bought drill lube and ice every 5 seconds... Worked but still went through more drill bits than I thought necessary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scope 3 Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) The bits were cheapies that I picked up from Northern Tool. This store is home to many one time use cheap tools. Edited August 3, 2012 by scope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
