[Quebectrooper]

Hi guys. I changed my FX thighs and

 

i know i've seen this somewhere but can't find it in the search:

 

How to cut and attach the belt on the lower right thigh ?

 

I got my dremel and pop rivet in hand with a coffee waithing !

 

Thanks.

Cut the "ammo belt" thingie so that it is rounded towards the bottom back (like 1/4 of a circle). Bend it with heat (hair dryer, or heat gun) to follow the front curve of the bottom thigh opening, then attach with one rivet per side, left and right.

Easy as that. Or were you thinking of something else?

Isn't your ammo belt a little large?

 

I trimmed mine a little shorter its 6 centimetres.

Here's how you can bend it if you want even bends across the battery packs

Make sure to use 1/8 inch wide, 1/4 inch long rivets (1/8 inch might be too short, depending on your armor thickness), and a washer inside the back of the rivet to prevent it from pulling out.

Yeah, Germany does have some nice spots.

 

Is my ammo belt large? Now that you say it...I might trim some more excess off the bottom, the top might be a little harder with it being riveted to the thigh already. 6cm sounds a little narrow though. But I'm sure it's different in between all the armor versions/makes.

if by chance it craccks/breaks in between two of the boxes (like mine did) here's what i did. turned out great in my opinion.
