Connection for old Kanohi

[Anthony12901]

So I wondered how to connect Old kanohi heads to using CCBS. I thought maybe I could use this piece(

https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=98565&idColor=85#T=C&C=85 ) (Gray Connector) and using an axle to connect to the brainstalk, and the ball like piece, and use the gray connector to connect to a standard ccbs body, and the other side to the ball piece. That would make the neck too long though. How else do you think I could connect it?

Use the Star Wars constraction torso? Though you'd have to add custom shoulders.

Thats ok. I didn't even know that there was a star wars torso. But which piece would I use if connecting? I could use this piece:

To connect onto the back side using a pin at the top hole, and run and axle through the front axle holes of the piece, which would connect to this piece:

That would connect to the head.

Here is a moc up I made in LDD using parts as a stand in for the Star Wars torso

All of the body armor pieces can connect to the Star Wars torso except for the breakout one

I guess that could work. I have LDD too so maybe I can make something...

If by old head you mean Toa Mata head, then I have solution, but it is little violent method.

Wait what???? What piece is that? I'm stunned for no reason.:-3 Which sets did it come in?

[Darking]

It's actually a 4M Bone Piece. He just cut the ball off, hence why he said it's a "violent method".

I used pincers. Beside it need some strength to push it to head, because it's a little more thick then a normal axle, and later it also hard to push it out of head. It's not perfect, but I don't find better and nicer way to connect old head with new body.

Here how it looks on Kopaka:

Ok. Thanks for telling. (Kopaka's Old Mask looks pretty good on Kopaka15.)
