Racing Jacket Gen 1 & 2 Custom Lenses

@Chris A Hardaway.
Would you be able to check if split jackets could be used as donors for Gen 2 RJs?

Thanks @Manish nice collection.

Hey @Manish I wish I could. I don't currently have any of those frames or lenses in stock to compare. Do you know the dimensions, vertically, and horizontally of your RJ gen 2s? In millimeters?

Not at the moment Boss. Will be a while before I get to them. On vacation right now

Hey @Manish to the best of my knowledge split jacket lenses won't work. Hopefully someone reading this can confirm. When I cut the last Gen 2 racing Jackets they were 63-64mm wide on each lens. We used pit bull lenses, and they measure 63 mm wide, they just barely worked! I checked online and it looks like the height of split is OK, BUT being that split jacket is only 62 mm wide it won't work! boo! Thumbs way down.

Damn...there goes my plan for an IH themed Gen 2 RJ ☹

If you bought the IH split lenses and they wouldn't work would you want to put in Juliet? That way you had a back up plan... Anyway. Good thought

True but don't have any Juliets nor Mars as small for my framework. Instead have the R1, XX & XS for which you have already cut me the clones.

I am not new to owning RJs gen 2 and custom cutting lenses. From my research with my own mm ruler. RJ Gen 1 65mm, RJ Gen 2 is 62mm, Big Taco is 62mm,
New RJs/Jawbone non vented is 62mm so those 2 for sure can be cut for RJ Gen 2 with extremely tight no error close cut or choose a shield lens then you have the room to take your time. I'll be cutting some soon and will post pictures.

@Oontz great clarification! On the o-review website I have seen information to the contrary. But I do agree with you. I've cut big taco, and pitbull lenses for Racing Jacket Gen 2 frames. So we've got it. Gen 1 65mm, Gen 2 62mm.... Thank you!
