Field pack attaching parts

[ABK]

Hi team

brand new!

finding it really hard to see how the mortar tube is attached, are there any photo or YouTube tutorials?

cable ties I assume are used but the finished job is so good in most photos I can’t see where they are!!

also what is this!! (See photo) how is that attached? Does it go on the left side of the frame as you look at it from the rear!

 

any help would be great

cheers

Hi mate and welcome, you've come to the right place. 

Make sure to take your time to look through the threads, loads of interesting information to be found. I know it's a lot of reading but definitely worth it. There are different ways to attach the mortartube, you can find the method I've chosen in my latest build thread (give it some time to load, lots of pictures in there) :

The tube seen in your picture is called labpipe and mine is attached with a screw at the top and a zip tie at the bottom. The screw hole visible on the outside was finally covered with gaffer tape. You could also use the same technique as I use on the mortartubes: scewhead on the inside of the tube, bolt coming out and then secured with a securing nut.

+1 to what Hausi said. 

this is what he meant by the screw at the top, note hole is visible. 

the other, bottom part, was not visible. thus it’s to your creativity how you want to put it. Lottsa reading to do my friend, and that’s part of the sandtrooper journey: the research.
