I would line up the kidney and abs and make your measurements for the shims. The rest seems like you have a handle on this. Good Luck

Looking good

Nice, Thanks AJ

From the picture of the kidneys flip it around and it should be right. the smaller curve to the bottom. The side button look fine also, 10mm from the edge 20 from the top and equidistant for the rest.

Tony hit it on the head. I have a hard hat liner in all of mine.

Hey Thomas, As mentioned by Tonya nd Joseph, the Blaster most likely will not be approvable on the pack. As far as the strapping I do the same on my pack as Joseph stated. I have a 1 inch webbing with quick disconnects that goes under my shoulder bridges and connects to the bottom corners of my packs. I've cut grooves in the plastic and looped the webbing through. Also, the pack you build looks awesome, great job!

Congrats on your purchase. There is no parts list or instructions that come with that kit. Send me a picture and I'll be able to tell you what your missing from AM is anything. Check out the build thread on here, They construction hasn't changed much between makers. Good luck and if you need anything just ask.

Exactly what Daniel has suggested. Most of the time I drill out holes in the front and then use a knife (carefully) and a file to clean them up. Best advise is just to Take your time. Looks good so far.

Yeah trooperbay is a good source for them.

I'm the same a Q, except my forearms are the last on.

Congrats and welcome!!
