Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the Spirit Brackets Kit that allows very secure attachment of an A.L.I.C.E. pack
frame to your Spirit Halloween Proton Pack.
The Spirit Brackets Kit is designed to work with the Spirit Halloween Deluxe Proton Pack and can be used with
the existing Spirit motherboard (cardboard, foam and fabric back side covering). Some minor cutting of the
cardboard motherboard and drilling of two mounting holes in the Proton pack and 3 mounting holes in the
A.L.I.C.E. frame is required for installation. All mounting hardware is included, but you must supply your own
Spirit Proton pack, A.L.I.C.E. frame and tools.
The brackets have been tested on the 2017 and 2018 versions of the Spirit Proton pack and also with two
separate A.L.I.C.E. frames:
1) Rothco Alice Pack Frame with Attachments

2) Fox Outdoor Products LC-1 A.L.I.C.E. Field Pack Frame

If you use some other A.L.I.C.E. frame, there could be fitment issues since the brackets are specifically sized to
work with the above two A.L.I.C.E. frames.
Here is the Spirit Pack with the frame attached:

- Page 3 Installation of main parts in the Spirit Pack Getting started: The first step is to remove the back of the Spirit Pack so we can access the inside of the pack shell. Flip the pack over and we need to locate the screws that hold the fabric covered cardboard “motherboard” to the back of the pack.
- Page 4 After re-installing the back cover, the screws can still be essentially hidden and only small cuts in the material above them allow easy access for the next time you want access in to the pack. The screws aren’t the only thing holding the cardboard onto the pack, and the cardboard is not very stiff, so great care should be taken removing the cardboard backing from the pack.
- Page 5 Replacing the center bracket: There is a center structural bracket that needs to be replaced with the center mounting bracket (item #3):...
- Page 6 To replace the existing bracket, just remove the four screws and the bracket can be lifted out. Place the Spirit Center bracket (item #3) over the 4 posts that the screws were removed from and screw in the four screws. The bent portion of the new bracket should be pointing toward the top of the proton pack away from the Cyclotron section.
- Page 7 When the Motherboard is placed back on the Proton pack, the bracket should now be flush with fabric on the motherboard:...
- Page 8 Adding side brackets: The two side brackets mount inside the bumper that goes across the center of the Cyclotron portion of the Spirit Pack. There are already molded in plastic screw heads and we will use those to center the holes that need to be drilled into the pack.
- Page 9 Here is a picture of the side after I ground down the screw head: Finished look:...
- Page 10 As shown above, use the Socket head bolts to mount the two side brackets (item #1 and #2) to the holes that you just drilled with the Bolts #4. Hex head goes on the outside along with the smaller washer, through the pack, through the slotted mounting bracket hole, then the larger washer and the locking nut.
- Page 11 Adjust the bracket so that it captures the frame tube without too much play. Make sure both sides are aligned (and the center brace of the frame is over the center bracket that was added to the pack) and then tighten down the two bolts (item #4) with a 3/16”...
- Page 12 I also left the five screws holding the motherboard to the pack visible for this picture. You will probably want to move the material around so that they are very well hidden. Time to place the frame on the pack. Same method as before: get one side in the bracket and then pull the other bracket toward the middle of the pack to allow the frame to slide over the bracket and snap in place.
