Disco Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Posted July 3, 2015 Ā Just going through my strapping that Mark sent me - just wanted to confirm I'm using them in the right place - the large ones I am ok with - the thinner two with velcro on the end - is this for shoulder bells to attach to shoulder straps?Ā Quote

Disco Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Posted July 3, 2015 Also, is there only one velcro strap on the ab plate to hold it to the kidney plate? I have the diagram and it shows just the one to lock it in on the left side once secured. Just checking. Quote

Disco Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Posted July 3, 2015 Some progress today - got some strapping done, bent the shoulder straps, and thought I'd start a mini fit up to see how it's going -Ā Quote
sskunky Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Looking good. I stick the shoulder straps in the oven at 170 for about 45 seconds - 1 minute or so. Just keep an eye on and feel if they are softening a bit then band them over a small saucepan. The strapping seems to differ on armour as does the construction. Here's another pic to throw the spanner in the works. 2 Quote
Disco Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Posted July 3, 2015 Should the back be lower?I haven't tried on lower kidney plate yet but thinking it should sit a little lower. Quote
sskunky Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 Try it together. once you have strapped the butt and Ab plates on an connected the crotch it should all pull in together. 1 Quote

troopermaster Posted July 3, 2015 Report Posted July 3, 2015 The strapping seems to differ on armour as does the construction. Here's another pic to throw the spanner in the works. Why do you think there is something different about the strapping or assembly? Quote
