Sources for ratchet joints

Postby ZeldaTheSwordsman » Sat Nov 10, 2018 11:15 am

Motto: "Earthrise restock or riot"
The custom elbow joint I made for my ROTF Megatron fell irreparably apart at the rotation point. It was kinda just a placeholder anyway, the hinge's weak ratcheting couldn't adequately deal with the weight of the forearm. So I was wondering two things.
1. What would be a good source for a ratchet joint for this particular job (must be no wider than 9mm)?
2. What's a good source for ratchets for Transformers customs in general?
WANT:
* Cyb. Galvatron key, missiles
* Omega Lock
* Primus Cyber Key, coattail panel
* Powerlinx Comettor
* Leader Sentinel Prime sword, shield
* RiD Galvy dragon head, beast arms
* Leader Ironhide windshield, R hood assy.
* Cyb. Wing Saber left chestplate (argh)

Your only real option is Revoltech joints, which are basically universal joints (peg at either end with a ratcheting hinge).

Thanks for the tip! I was expecting you to just tell me to get the UFO arm, but that was actually very helpful advice!
