Ok. I've heard people using both elastic and nylon webbing. I'm gonna error on the side of caution and use webbing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm going to remove velcro and do proper snap plates with elastic first. If it's still an issue, then I'll explore trimming. Looking at the picture, I bet if I had a proper short elastic strap from the top corner of the kidney to that "unused" snap on the ab, it would stay tight and line up. Currently that strap mounts to low and has a lot of play in it, which is why I think the parts don't match up when there is weight on the ab from the belt. Thanks!

almost all of this is going to go away this week, so hopefully that will improve a few things, but for the record, this is what it looks like:

Ok, I got my son's kit done finally. Pictures of problem areas to come. One thing is certain, I suck at measuring thigh size, lol. Here's my list of known issues and how I intend to fix them. Here's a front shot. Looks good from this angle . . . Shoulder bells hang too far - going to shorten the strap from bell to bridge, easy fix. (not seen in this photo as they are tucked up) FIXED Thighs WAY too big - gonna take apart in the back, trim substantially, glue back together Sides of butt plate flare out - not sure how to fix this, but might make a little tab system Right side mismatch between kidney plate and abs. They line up when hanging, but the kidney plate seems to rise up when being worn - no idea how to fix this I know this is the wrong weapon. We don't have an E-11 yet. Do you think the thighs are too tall at the tops? we're having a few issues with alignment of parts due to the included velcro strap system. We are getting rid of that over the next week or so and going to snap plates with 1" elastic. Making a garter belt and some 2" loops for the thighs as well, since the included strap system is very awkward to assemble and position. Any suggestions are appreciated. thanks Dave

S-trim on bottom of bucket appears missing; TD looks too long and narrow. Remove black strap between chest and back on right side. Double check those points as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't find the thread that shows how to correctly trim the backs of the calves to fit your legs and then add the cover strip with velcro. Search results not getting me to what I'm looking for . . . thanks for the help.

So, I'm building an ESB Tk but my kit came with an ANH Hero holster setup. Is there an easy way to convert it? Adding loops seems straight forward enough, but moving it from left side to right side seems like the seams and strap would then be on the wrong side. Would it be easier just to buy an ESB holster and sell my ANH holster to offset the cost rather than try to convert it?
