Make sure you sand those rough edges as they can catch on your undersuit when moving

I believe you are correct, Tino. My day just got MUCH better!

Thank you again, I took your advise and now have the front and rear belt fitting perfectly. Wish I had thought of this before i started fitting it ha ha

Good luck and have fun!!!! I went with Darkside for the under shirt. It did take awhile to get it but I like the fit and the neck seal is attached. I didn't use the belt or boxes that came with the 850 kit. The belt material in the kit wasn't tall enough to get the belt teeth right. I used the old heat and bend over a pot technique. It worked great. Jason is correct about the measurement. Bend the belt then mark your teeth against the abdomen. For me it was the only say to get it right!

Thanks Glen. I'm beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I can't wait to submit in the pre-approval section and eventually submit to my GML. My goal is to get Centurion this go around.

And honestly, I don't know if Mike puts the TKs in the same bucket as Mando builds, but his current flight suit wait is a year. The best thing you can do is just reach out. Two years ago when he wasn't nearly as busy as he is now, it took about 5 months for me to get mine. Hit me up on Facebook Messenger if you want Jim's ROTK order form. I sent you his email info; he responds fairly quick. I knew he was getting annoyed. Lol. Regardless, don't get the wrong impression about the helmet. You can get the 850 bucket approved, there's just a few things that should be addressed. I know Andy said you had plans of eventually submitting for EIB and Centurion. However, if you do go the Black Series conversion route, @TerribleBen was recently approved in both the BS helmet and an 850 kit. If you haven't checked out his thread yet, it's here: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/48870-terriblebens-r1tk-adventure/ Keep in mind when you're doing the helmet conversion, regardless of what many of us have done previously, per the CRL, you're not required to cut out the stripes on the tears and traps. The CRL simply says "engraved," and a nicely painted engraved trap looks way better in my opinion. Trust me on this one, you don't want to cut those stupid little stripes out. I've done it on two 3d printed helmets and a black series. The tubes and "teeth" are pretty easy, but the others will make you cry. This is one of the reasons I like Nico's helmet: I think we discussed the belt briefly, but you're going to have to get a little creative with the 850 kit. You should have been supplied with some extra strips of ABS, but if I remember correctly, you'll still have to cut your own tabs which is easy to mess up. Just remember, curved surfaces measure different than flat surfaces. I'll definitely be watching your build closely.

Joseph, are you sure this is not just the regular power cylinder with a reflection of the parallel cylinder making it look like something is connected to the scope?!

Awesome thanks for the advise, I don't suppose you have some pics of the rear belt mounting to had do you, don't worry if not, I don't want to be a pest
