  1. I had originally cut up some 1 1/2" abs squares but after more research I decided to buy some white 1 1/2" nylon webbing and have made all my plates out of that. It lays in much flatter and the webbing really sucks up the E6000.
  2. Better safe than sorry I guess. I'm going to give it a go. Thanks for the quick response.
  3. I know I've read that a chemical reaction between the glue and the metal can warp or melt the plastic. My question is... Can I cover the metal part of the snap with a sticker or tape and glue over the whole snap plate and receiving area of armor?
  4. Figure out where your ears are going to sit. Mark helmet lightly with a pencil. Keep all additional holes within these lines. Cover with ears. Then relax just a bit. Have fun with it. There is a lot of creative freedom on the inside of the lid. Cover the bolts with fabric or padding if you don't want them to be seen. Most importantly follow the CRL for the external components and make the internal parts work for your needs.
  5. It's like this. You can have as many holes as you like on the inside of your bucket. So long as they are all covered up by the ears you will be fine. Purchase some 1/8 x 1" bolts with washers and nuts. Use a removable thread locker to keep them secured. Only 3 bolts on each ear are allowed to be visible from the outside of your lid.
  6. My ATA kit cam with 4/40 (#4 with 40 thread per inch). They were brass, tapered head, slotted (flat). I believe they were about 2 1/2 or 3" to start. I have since cut them all flush with the nut and loctite'd the threads. Hope this helps.
  7. Kind of makes you want to get dirty! Great read. Thanks guys.
  8. You will get a "heads up you're next" email about 10-14 days before your armor will be ready to ship.
  9. I've been trying to do this by hand. PM coming with my email. Thanks.
  10. Have you contacted TKBoots directly and asked to be put on the wait list for your size? I was surprised at how quickly they were able to complete my order.
