Connection ABS Belt to Canvas Belt and Holster
dark_jedi_ire replied to dark_jedi_ire's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
Vern,, Question,,, in Relation to the 1/4" Screws,, where do you place the head, ( Flat head Screw driver End) Facing outwards? or inwards? If outwards you would need to remove the rivet covers to dismantle the belt.. facing side, Im assuming they will scratch the hell out of the ABS ab plate........................... Just wondering............... -
ANH Hero Belt and Holster
dark_jedi_ire replied to dark_jedi_ire's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
DarSec For the holster its seems 1/8 " chicago Screws are being used ... But from Research there are anything from 4.75mm to 9mm, reason Im Saying 1/8" is because I have ordered one of Dartan`s ANH Hero Holster and he confirms that he is Sending me 4 1/8" chicago screws.. Which saves me a lot of hassle and its great,, Thanks Dartan and for the belt, you can us any size, Im working in mm sorry So just ordered a few samples from Ebay and going to See which works best, I have ordered 7mm 9mm 13mm Silver Chicago Screws.. I will see What slots in best under the Abs Rivet Covers for the Belt,, Vern has advised that you but tape over the top of the screw when putting the ABS cover over o as not To have an issue with heat and The ABS ( thanks Vern) Hope that helps you out -
Connection ABS Belt to Canvas Belt and Holster
dark_jedi_ire replied to dark_jedi_ire's topic in Assembly, Mods, and Painting
Thanks Vern,,, 1/4" is 6.35 MM, ok that is Something for me to go on,, so you use 1.4" for the three Connections on the belt, as in ABS belt to Canvas belt? What did you use for or what would you advise for the Holster connections? 4mm? -
Hi Guys Apologies on this being in another Section, (http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30892-anh-hero-belt-and-holster/) Im putting it here for Exta viewing.. Am working on ANH Hero TM 1.5mm ABS, and at the stage of connecting (as the title Says) the ABS Belt to the Canvas belt and the Holster, After much back and forth, I would like to get the exact sizes in MM if possible as I would like to be able to attach and detach the holster and ABS to clean the Canvas belt if needed So instead of snaps, Chicago Rivets would possibly work best.. but what sizes should i use for the Belts (canvas to ABS Belt) and What sizes should I get for the 4 holster Connections? TM is getting pop and Single Cap rivets sizes for me ( he is a true gent :-) ) incase I go down that route as I am in Ireland and Cant find Chicago Rivets anywhere, So I will have to get them online, Thanks in advance..

ANH Hero Belt and Holster
dark_jedi_ire replied to dark_jedi_ire's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Update: I found the measurement Diagram for the holster, phew,, Can someone direct me to the Exact Rivets (Washers?) I need/should be using to Connect the two belts.. (Im based in Ireland) or Snaps? Rivets To Connect the holster to the belt? Rivets to connect the ABS Belt to the Canvas Belt? ( washer needed?) Cheers guys, Failing that,,, what are your thoughts on the Snaps idea? -
ANH Hero Belt and Holster
dark_jedi_ire replied to dark_jedi_ire's topic in Build Threads Requireing Maintenance
Any update Clint? Also I need to find the Diagram, ( for the life of me Cant Find it) of the exact location measurements for the holster, I know I Seen a diagram that shows the Measurements Somewhere on Whitearmor that should show how far the Straps of the holster should be from the Belt and The Length etc,, Anyone? In regards to rivets, I dont and cant find access to rivets to connect the plastic Belt to the Canvas.. Im using 15mm Snaps, Would it be insane of me (as long as the belt Cover buttons cover them perfectly) to put the male part facing inwards, and Connecting to the Female Snap that is embedded in the Canvas belt? Or even the other Way around,.. I dont have Snaps put into my Ab plate to hold the Belt in place yet, and Doing the above Will allow access to doing it later if its Required on the belt as I will not be putting my E-11 into the holster....... (images of connections and how to, Would be great) Drop Box exact locations?,, Can anyone point out exactly where The drop boxes should go, Again My idea would be to ( Similar to FirebladeJedi`s) would be to have them drop down from the two edge snaps on both ends of the belt, And centered on the middle of the dropbox... Good idea? Bad idea? Again as I dont have Access to rivets, What would be my best bet in Connection the dropboxes to the White Elastic and then To the belt? Images guys would be Awesome,, Im working on TM 1.5mm Armour and Loving it,, :-) Thanks in Advance -

If so what Size Snaps? Or if I should use Rivets. What Size (in mm) Rivets Should I be using,, Holster,, I have a holster, but the straps at the top are black, Im going screen Accurate ANH Hero, but Im reading that Hero`s where Tanned straps at the top??? With Connecting the Strap to the belt, again how Are folks doing this? Snaps or Rivets,, and again what Size rivets (in MM) are the Right one`s to Go with,,,Snaps are easy enough to use, but I have never used a rivet tool. Why I even have one I have no idea, but for Some Reason I do.. ha Drop Boxes Again Rivets or Snaps? and What Sizes... Cheers guys,,

Wow talk about miss judging, What I though where to small are possibly to big,.. Im using prym 15mm Sport camping Snaps, for snap plates etc for internal strapping.. Here is the back of the current 15mm Snaps I am using for internal strapping in the right AB spot.. Too big? they measure around 12-13mm( Half inch) I need to get silver of course - thoughts or Are the screen Accurate 10mm? thanks a Million guys, as I off to the shop tomorrow to get more snaps anyway for strapping,,, so I can hopefully pick up the Correct snap for the right AB Section as well ----------------

I know and I was about to get it, but right now with All other purchases in the last few Months, it was just that little bit more than I could afford, Even without the armour, I think Ive spend about 800 - 1000 euro on Extras,, that and kitting My wife`s Royal guard out :-) I will use darmans for now and will be getting Veedox`s in the coming months,, thats a given :-) I was trying to get tk409.coms neck seal but I ended up canceling that with paypal, due to no contact etc, seems a Few around here have had Similar issues :-)
