A/B MX7000 Build

Today will be the start of an MX7000 build ive been brainstorming and buying up parts for the past year, heres the general outline.


Ill be starting today by completely tearing down an MX i have had partially done then right after ill start by installing and wiring up the arrowstik thats coming in the mail today. Most of what i need for the bar is already in my hands apart from a left corner amber filter and an amber dome which ill hopefully be able to find soon.

Will update soon with progress pictures.

Small Update!

the arrowstik kit i bought only had the plain lenses and i decided to have a go at making the arrows out of vinyl and they came out pretty alright.
So far ive tore down the old bare to the bare frame and have up the lower domes on along with some lenses, as of right now the project is a bit stalled since i realized the center section needs the bigger 6 hole lenses and im still on the search for the amber corner.

In case someone finds this thread in the future:

The entite ArrowStik requires 6-hole filters, not just the center section. The plastic reflectors on all of the ArrowStick circuit boards are centered on 6 hole filter spacing, not on 5-hole filter spacing.

Looking at your drawing again, I recognized something that stands out. Do you already have the kind of alley lights that permit you to install an ArrowStik?

I dont have them as of right now but i have ordered them, its these right?
Ive seen the other design of alley light and thought it was too bulky to fit with the arrowstik.

Correct! The pictured MX7000 alley lights are suitable for installation with an ArrowStik. The standard, or bulky, alley lights are made to be somewhat adjustable, whereas these here are fixed.

Alright perfect! Never actually bothered to check if they were the right ones, just assumed since they were thinner, but it's nice to have some confirmation that they're the right ones haha.
