Man I want to make me a set of those. I have the aluminum to do it I just don’t have a template to go by. I worked in a sheet metal shop for about 5 years so surly I could do that. Problem is I’m the only one in my area that runs an ex and I don’t know anyone that has one. It’s hard to believe that as popular as the ex is I have been the only one to run an ex in the last two years. Please post some more pics, maybe not so close and maybe I can get a better look at what you have. A few measurements will help also. I like the way those look.
Thanks for the compliments. I'll see what I can do about digging up some other pics for you. Maybe I can even get some measurements too.
A while back I remember an old thread where some members posted some patterns for scoops.
I'm sure if you did a search for "scoop(s) pattern(s)" in the 400ex forum, you be able to find it pretty quick.
Mine are actually made of polished stainless steel, and are fairly old. I dont remember exacatally what brand they are, (I bought them used from a guy on EBAY). but some time ago one of the older members said they were MF's, or HM's, or FM's , or something like that.
Funny thing is, the guy I bought them from was selling them because he thought they could not be used with rezzie shocks. It only took me 20 minutes with a rotory file, to trim the lower edges to clear the rezzies. you can see my trim job in the pics if you look closely. They mount very solid, and do not rattle at all.
(they also are nice for reflecting the light forward from my strobes)
heres a couple short vids of that...
