It was super easy.
Here's what I did.
- Start with a PC122 Model M
- Cut all the rivets (like a BoltMod)
- With a sharp knife cut off the F1-F24 part of the barrel assembly. For my name I only needed 22 characters.
- Before you put in the paddles, secure (with little bolts) the barrel assembly to your name plate. TAP plastics can make a clear name plate for about $8.
- Un-bolt the barrel assembly from the name plate.
- Put in all the paddles.
- Re-bolt the barrel assembly to the name plate (very carefully).
- Put in your key stems.
- Put on your key caps.
