Jancelot's back pack (pack 2 modified)

I figured I'd start a dedicated thread for my pack build. It's been in progress for awhile, but I had a long hiatus during renovation work on our house.

While the pack is mostly based on the #2 build, I'm choosing to use the radio face place instead of the faux one.

Upper box items loosely laid out.

For the hose connection box, I ordered a 2.5" x 3" x 1.5" project box and clipped the wings off. That said, I think it might be a bit large. I'm going to trim the depth down to 1". But I'm also going to try a 2.5" squared or even 2".

I cut the wet wipes bottle down a bit. The mushroom top now sits just above the lower left box per the photo above. Overall, while it looks like the proportions aren't correct, I'm trying to keep the general alignment intact.

I took a half inch off the hose connector project box height and it fits much better.

Made a new back plate for it. Kept the two small screws at the top for access.

Hole in the top:

Hose test fitting. I need to cut the length down and shape it more. Is it supposed to be all black?

To take pressure off of the bottle top, I used washers for spacers. I want to find/make a better solution, though. Perhaps even small blocks of wood painted black.

In order to get the bolts in the cistern, our garrison CO had the idea to use a magnet to slide it down. It took a few tries for each, especially the far one, but worked great. I used the same method for my side tube.

Repurposed the back of the radar dish lid for the inner cistern support. It's a rough "round-ish" shape, but it won't be seen anyway.

Working on the base frame for the radio.

Glued corner supports

Drove a nail in the bottom for extra hold

Glueing the long sides. The four shorter cross pieces are temporary spacers while the glue dries.
