Help with headsculpt and connection to body

Hello everyone!

Recently i bought a custom head sculpt on ebay which comes with this connection (see photo). Does anyone know which connector i could use to make it fit a jiaou/TBL body? Or is that impossible?


Many thanks!

There’s no specific adapter that would fit that sort of cavity. What you can do instead, but be careful, is use something like a Dremel to possibly widen the existing hole that is there in small increments until it fits the neck ball joint of the body you are planning to use.

That looks to me like an old  BBI neck post would work , see link . No guarantee but that would be my try if you don`t want the surgery .

Thanks for the advice! In the end i went with the surgery and the dremel. The result was mediocre, but it worked.

I agree with Chip in identifying the opening and the intended neck peg.
Drache, you can make the opening bigger with the Dremel, then stuff somewhat flexible material like a length of foamie inside, leaving a smaller space for the neck peg to make its way in. This would provide a reasonably good fit. See some examples in the head conversion tutorial thread here:
