Here's a link: http://www.brettunsvillage.com/leather/parts/rivets.htm Jack Nice find bro.

Rolf Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hey Rolf, What did you use to creat the "Dot" in the lower corner of the ab box - and how did you do it?? thanks, jack I just use this round circle, there was in the TE2 kit for the screw set/for the ear caps (pics add). I place in inside the suit, on the back side of the ab, i paint tape it over, so i did not move whit hot iron it. I just put a white towel over it, i could quick feel the hot dot coming through the ab hips. It was a bit scary, bit it worked. I just took it slow, and press slowly, to i could feel the dot coming out nicely, and it was there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Small change. I was not 100% happy, whit the string going down under the cut down TK 4 dot to TD 3. The string was not deep enough, and the 3 dots looked too small. So i add the 3 TM dots again. Here you go: You can still see the stripe going down under the 3 TM TD dots, so i still got something out of my work i guess Weathering up soon Troop on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolf Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 VERY COOL FIND!!!! Thanks Rolf Your welcome bro. I got a few more, they was post over at FISD not long ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I think its actually very cool to see that the elastic straps were used under the ribbed and that there are snaps attached to them. This basically proves that they were attaching the shoulder bells the way alot of us do now. Another thing interesting about the pic is that it shows a good amount of glue on the top of the ribbed strap....even though all the reference material ive seen shows them floating on the outside of the backplate. this leads me to believe someone glued it to the inside. Time to watch in slow mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
