Rivets question

Hey folk's. So this month i am finally getting my armour up to scratch at least for membership/The officer program.

I am currently trying to get my armour ready for membership with my local garrison the UKG

I don't know what is really nessessery for basic membership as my armour is getting there slowly after a reasearch the details etc. But one of the thing's while reading up on one of the members trying to get membership is the side rivets. I was just wondering what kinda rivets are these? Also are there not supposed to be any rivets on the right side?

So far i do have quite a bit left to do but i am getting there slowly. And my last question is how many screws are ment to be under the chest plate? I count 2 in the link down below but i seen members have many seprated thoughout the bottom,and i like the idea of being a few more spreaded then just 2 in the middle.

And here's a recent photography pic of me just for fun :)

I followed this post over on the FISD when i did mine as i was going for centurion TK before i converted to the dirty side. The split rivets that are required should be 8MM for accuracy

Dannys build is a great guide to follow.

here are a few pictures of mine. taken before the conversion to TD. Rivets are only on the left side non the right.

A few people have done what i did and make snap plates instead of making the rivets usable.

As for the emulation or installing the screen strapping on the chest and ab plate see picture below. :-) Should look something like this, preferred to use slotted (flat head) machine screws, unfortunately i had non available, but these dont look bad.

Thank's! Look's fantastic,Gonna get them ordered But how is the chest really strapped to the Ab plate? I have had to many times the ab plate go's way too high and you can see the undersuit.

No Problem. I have internal snap strapping keeping the chest plate in the correct place at all times like the attached photo but i have 3 instead of 2.. one at each side and one in the center (replacing 1,2,3,4)
