StrmTRPR85

Just submited for EIB! I did have on comment on the spacing on my right side ab and kidney. I fixed this by adding additional glue to the elastic, shortening the stretch and making my belt tighter.

Moved the right side ab strap and tightened my belt fixed the larger gap on my right

I'll double check it with a ruler. Worse case I can adjust the strap to bring it in tighter

loving the work your doing on lining your tote. I just started working on lining mine as well!

Thank you Preston!

I misstyped (of course because I'm a TK) my thread title for EIB. My TK ID should be 22706 not 22705....can I get this fixed?

Oops I missed...I hit 5 instead of 6. TK I'd should be TK-22706.... Can I get that fixed in my thread title?

I used Google photos for all my pictures

Welcome! A couple questions on your build, are you aiming for higher level approvals? what parts are going to need to be larger? forearms, abs, shins etc? A hot water bath will definitely help with fitting but some things may need to be trimmed larger or even shimmed. Post up some pictures and lots of detail on what is not fitting and we will get you where you want to be. I have a WTF kit myself and very pleased with the kit and also the customer service Walt provides.

any electrical conduit should be the right gray color, if i recall diameter is 2 in and 7 1/2 inches long

Drilled a hole in the back of the Hyperfirm E-11 for the D-ring Than inserted one side of the link in and then got the other side in and slide it back There is a slight bend in the back due to the ring pushing this. Is that an issue? I would imagine we would want it as straight as possible.

Thank you for adding this info Tony! This is a very valuable step by step!

What's the best approach to building in said curvature?

I had to get a 14 qt pot I could only get half a shin in to form and than flip to the other side.

Went ahead and riveted and E6000 the belt. I picked up a larger rivet that was 3/16 in long. Using some scrap ABS that was thin and flexible I cut and rounded the ends. To keep the end of the rivet from scratching the ab part I put some of the soft velcro side over it Put some clamps where I glued and allowed to dry

Got my D rings for my E11 at Ace!

I thought about it recently. Not 100% sure if I want to go that route. My concern would be if it keeps popping off than it's a game of pop on, pop off

A soldiering iron was used. It is possible the holes may have been slightly too big hence I initially used a washer to secure. I was surprised to see the washer get pulled through though. Didn't think I made it that big. Oh well no harm no foul and the 4 yr old is having a talking to about why rebels are terrorist

So the story goes I put on my TK last to show my neighbors who are moving the finished kit. My 4 yr old may or may not have pulled on my holster Than BAM it all popped out. Everyone was more concerned than I was lol. Figure I'll put a slightly longer rivet 3/16, cut a plastic spacer and have the rivet go ABS belt, canvas belt than plastic spacer. Plus I'll E6000 it on top of that. That should hold it extra and be proactively preventing future kids pulling on holsters Documentation incoming once complete

Oh no first repair needed! The left side of my belt tore through the canvas belt even with a washer on the back. Is E6000 the belt to the canvas belt an option? That's my easy plan I am thinking.

After reviewing the CRL for level 2 it sounds like all I need to do is get a D-ring on the back of my hyperfirm E11. Looking at sourcing a D-ring now. I think home Depot has some from what I recall

Yea his concern was just the strap to cover more of the bicep. But gotta do what ya gotta do

As per my GMLs recommendation to bring my bell straps down to cover the biceps more, I have reinstalled the bicep hooks These just pull the strapping down to cover over the bicep more. I have not had a chance to test fit these not too sure if I have too much white on the hook showing or not.....easy to pull off and re-position as necessary. Now to start looking over EIB requirements, and fine tune anything there before submitting
