Thanks. I will not be adding shims for the mere fact that I will not be able to make EIB and Centurion as my thighs are too big and to get the armor to fit, I had to leave a small portion that is flat on the front. I'm completely ok with this. I did find the ab buttons in the package. They were with the bucket items. As far as the gap, the photo above with the side profile. If you look at the bucket were the tube on the side is. Go directly down and you can see a space between my chest and the armor. This gap is goes all the way up and around the shoulder. I'm going to have to trim the bridges between the chest and back. I just don't know how much to trim off. I'm going to try a test fit again tonight and make some marks. with the AM 2.0, I think im going to have to trip the chest and back shoulder part to meet the width of the shoulder straps. The TD control panel is taped on right now in the above photo. The clips are ACCO banker's clasps. They are about 1" wide. I see I can move the control panel up so that the bottom will me the straps on the grey portion (if i'm looking at it right.) I could also trim the back clips if they seem too long. They are 5.75". Thank you again for the encouragement. I'm get to the final build portion and don't want to screw up now.
