paulkar Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I am putting together my AP armor. Any suggestions on how to attaché the shoulder bell other than an elastic bicep band? Thanks guys! Pk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ground pounder Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Here is how I did mine. I used a single strap that connects to both shoulder bells and velcros under each elastic shoudler strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the reply, looking over several different options I have found on the MEPD. Thank you for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Paul's method is one great solution to the problem. Following this principle consider the following idea: Have a tailor or one with sewing skills make you a belt and chest trouser in a single peace. Have the belt piece have a snap button system for the thighs and the upper shoulder trouser the same thing: a snap system. Therefore you just snap your shoulder bells with no problem at all.

FIVE Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yeah, that's close to what I did too... Here's what I did. http-~~-//vimeo.com/12922875 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 What I did is 6" piece of black strapping folded over then at the base folded over a 4" piece of velcro. This creates a loop at the top were I slide my torso straps through. Then I have the opposing side of the Velcro in the bells. It allows for adjustment and must say after trying lots of alternate options this one for me was perfect. I'll try and get a pic up but all access is via iPhone right now.... Btw when is this site going to allow for iPhone photo uploads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
