So here's a guide for installing a varitube on the rx200s, would be the same for the rx200 aswell I'd have thought
So firstly the tools needed
Drill with 10mm bit
Soldering iron
Small Phillips
T5 torx if I remember correctly
Dremel or similar
Small vise (not needed just easier)
Craft knife (not needed but handy for poking wires etc)
Some form of thread lock (I used super glue)
Small spanner to tighten the nut on the varitube (I used pliers)
Start by unscrewing the 4 screws in the battery tray
That will remove the face plate
Then the 2 torx at the top and bottom of the mod
Then remove the screw in the top left of the battery tray, slightly to the right of it is a small white foam piece which needs removing to show a screw underneath aswell. Remove that screw aswell
Now on the front of the mod remove the black screw
Then we need to bust out the soldering iron and heat up this solder to remove the wire. It will just slide out from the side
Then desolder the red and black wire
