Sealsniper33 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Hey Guys, I only have a few things left to do on my armor. Mostly cosmetic. The major issue I have right now is on the placement of the rivets on the side of my ab and back armor pieces. I need all the extra plastic which come on the sides of the NE armor. Where should I place them? Should I cut the excess off and then add shims? I'm at a loss. Here are some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 If it helps Chris, before I did my chest return edge and angle cut my belt, I did a an intern extra plastic extension from my right ab side were the top snap goes. On my left ab side I did an intern snap system with elastic straps. This is the side were your 6 rivets go. 3 per side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Chris, Like you I am on the larger side to. But I did cut all the extra plastic off as I think it makes the sides to square. I then added flexible shims in. Once you have your ammo pouches on you hardly notice them. I put the 3 rivets that should be on the kidney plate on the front of the shim so that you still get the effect of all 6 rivets close together. Hope this helps. Andrew.

What kind of flexible material did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
