DDS-BF-01 (ver. 3) & Cool Cat metal reinforcements

When we all saw that Volks changed the shoulder parts starting from when Asuna was released. My main question was how does it affect the Cool Cats metal reinforcements.

 

Here's my take on putting them on.

ill take 3. who do i pay

that's so cool and good idea.

'Tis also possible to slide the CC reinforcers onto the v3 naturally. It doesn't hurt to have the extra plastic, and would probably make putting the reinforcers on slightly easier. But I do want to point out that the metal bits can still be used if one has no extra materials laying around! (That's something I was worried about before I got a v3 frame).

I don't understand. Do you suggest not to put the plastic ring as Himitsu suggested?

Indeed he is. You can just slide on the CC reinforcement without a plastic ring. Actually was really easy to do.

I'm just paranoid that there was less surface area in contact with the metal reinforcement. A bit like gripping a tennis racket with your index and pinky fingers rather then the whole fist. Also i thinking what "if" the reinforcement slowly shifted back from gripping shoulder joint to pull out the arm several times, leaving just the inner ring reinforced. Whether that would happen, i don't know... maybe not... but least i don't need to think about it
