Hey guys. I've done some more work. I copied Acima and faked original strapping. When I put this suit together the original strapping system was not as common knowledge as it is today so I had less return edge than Acima did on hers. But I think it went pretty good anyway. It was just enough to make it work. I used 10 mm long M3 slotted machine screws and locking nuts. 30 of them total. I didn't do any on the ab plate, which would be hidden by the breast plate anyway (and my lack of return edge there would have prevented that anyway).
So here's how it looks.
