Attaching Green Force Torch

Ant Slegg · 24th April 2007, 11:06

It worked well (someone will surely disagree) with my twin 12s but I am currently struggling with attaching my Arrow A12 (GreenForce) with its umbilical and head securely and tidily to my Boris.

I've come to the conclusion that it will not work and that leaves me with 5 options:

1) Ask if anyone has succeeded in this
2) Ask if anyone has modified anything like this (i.e. bought a different battery from Greenforce)
3) Ask people's opinions on an alternative torch
4) Attach the whole thing to my stage cylinder (reasons why this is a bad idea...?)
5) The miracle solution that's obvious to everyone when they read it (go back to the 12s? don't think so) but hadn't occurred to them/me.

PS - I live in Luxembourg, Europe just in case anyone was going to recommend a manufacturer/supplier

Ant, Is the Arrow A12 the long thin battery pack (Like Chris and Brians?)

Hi Ant
I run an arrow 12 and what I have done is very simple, I ran an OMS bungey through 2 holes in the side of the wing and cable tied 2 loops slightly smaller than the battery body. The battery slides up through loops and is quite secure.
I've used this for the last couple of years without a problem, its a simple, cheap solution.

Regards, Al

That sounds like it might work. I'll give it a try tonight and let you know.

Thanks

And there's the problem with moving house... can I find ANY bungey?
On the other hand at least I found the holes...
