Premium Members Dave Chameides Posted December 9, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 The bottom spar (over me big belly) section of my PRO vest has started squeaking like an old man who has eaten too much cheese. Anyone experienced this before? I've checked the screws etc and it's definitely the foam. I come to a lock off and it squaeks as i breath. Heading to PRO to pick up new foam and hoping that works. Anyone? Bueller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jens Piotrowski SOC Posted December 9, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 it's a common problem. take the spar off and put lithium grease on locating pins.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? i'll give it shot but it sounds like it's coming from the pads? Not sure why it would start after such a long time but i;m game for anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Jess Haas SOC Posted December 10, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 If you end up with an extra set of pads you don't need I might be interested in taking them off your hands. Working on moding a vest(not a pro) at the moment and if they are the right dimensions they might come in handy. ~Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members RonBaldwin Posted December 10, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 had a similar squeak...while wearing it I narrowed it down to the lower right, where the plastic "wing" goes behind the aluminum front plate. I pushed half a clothes pin up there and it solved the problem. Every once and a while the clothes pin will drop out while putting the vest on...people wonder where exactly the clothes pin came out from! rb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took that off and spread a thin layer of teflon grease in there and it seemed to do the trick (at least in the living room, we'll see what happens on set today). Thanks Still meaning to come by set to talk NYC, just swamped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members JobScholtze Posted December 30, 2009 Premium Members Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 When looking at the pics of the pro vest, it looks like the socketblock is stuck in the right position? I cant imagine this is the case. So, this vest can be used for regular and goofy ops? Greets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bridge plate is easily unbolted and flipped to the other side for goofy operation. ~Jess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
