pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Most people rivet a backing to the shin, then glue the plate onto the backing via layers of plastic / shims between the plate and backing. Here's how I did mine. It's rock solid. http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=6775&view=findpost&p=83101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Fury[TK] Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 I did something similar to Terry. I used one of Slaveonepilot's TD knee plates, the laser etched one that is in layers. I had to build up a few pieces under it or it would be right in my knee. I angled it out a bit toward the top and used E6000 for the whole thing, been through countless troops over the last year and have had no problems.

pandatrooper[TK] Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Here's a way to make one from scratch. The mounting is pretty much how most people mount them (shims, angle it outwards to prevent catching on bottom of thigh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
