nick.black Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Can anyone tell me what size screw I should use for the screws under the return edge? The ones that are showing from the original strapping system on the screen used ones! I want to try and replicate it on my armour. I know they are flat head and not philips Thanks Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK4702 Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 R2Dan gave me this info: M3 screws, 6mm long, 8mm will do, too, depending on material thickness - 10mm is way too long though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Locitus Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 i replicated that on my suit with 10 mm M3 screws and have no problem. But then again, my suit is a TM 2mm. But yeah, if you can find shorter screws than 10 mm, go for those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 6mm-8mm-10mm....hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nayte Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Where exactly are these screws located and does anyone have more infomation on them? I want to be as screen accurate as possible and did not even know about these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebectrooper Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Troopermaster is the best to answer that one or just search on the FISD forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 6mm-8mm-10mm....hmmmmI was going to suggest finding him but saw he posted. You can get an accurate strapping kit from Troopermaster. If you're wanting to do it full-on, then that's the route I'd go. If you're wanting "just for looks", however, then you can find them on your own I'm sure.

nick.black Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Thanks guys, just ordered some on ebay. Just needed to know the ideal size and length and you've all helped with that. I'm only installing them for show not on accurate strapping system. One day maybe! Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troopermaster Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 The ones in my pic are M3 x 8mm. I think you will find they are the same as the screen used screws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
