Centering GEN 2 Pads !!!!

[Team Adam's]

This seems to be a lot of cases of pads not being centered on the backing plate. I've made this mistake in the past, had the pad slightly off center and the velcro never fully seats. As soon as you get going an edge will lift and WOOPS!! There goes your pad.

 

Please make sure you're taking the time to carefully center your pads before beginning a detail and place some pressure squarely in the middle to ensure the pad is fully seated into the velcro. Excessive heat is a sign that the pad is spinning and the velcro isn't fully engaged.

After some testing this is the best way to attached the backing plate on the 2nd Generation foam pads.

 

1st tip in the backing plate edge on the black inner "L" lip of the back like picture shown.

 

 

 

2nd bring down the rest of the plate so the backing plate is fully in the black “L” lip like the picture.

 

 

 

Lastly press down on the PC head like the picture shows to ensure the backing plate hooks latch on the loops on the fabric.

 

 

I tried numerous methods to mount the backing plate and this method was done with one hand.
