gazmosis[501st] Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 I am beginning my ATA build and decided to trim up the ammo belt. I was looking at the snap covers(3) and there really is no gluing surface on the underside of the snap cover. What's everyone doing for this? Gluing to the snap itself? I know Vern, Don't use E6000 on metal to plastic bonds it will melt the plastic. Great tip, though!!! Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 wow. I love it when I'm mentioned, but not followed! I use chicago screws for the belt. duct tape over the top of the screw, then glue. this way the belt is interchangable. no brainer! Quote
troopermaster Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 If you need belt rivet covers that glue easily onto your belt, I have lots available. Give me a PM if you need some Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Posted February 9, 2012 Alright Paul! A PM is coming your way!!!! How sweet is that! Quote
Tray[TK] Posted February 9, 2012 Report Posted February 9, 2012 i used hot glue so that I could remove them if I had to to make changes to my belt. My original belt is CA glued. And still together. I'll go back to it if I ever loose all this fat I added to my torso area. Quote

I use chicago screws for the belt. duct tape over the top of the screw, then glue. this way the belt is interchangable. no brainer! Nice idea! I used chicago screws as well but glued the caps to the belt w/ e6000. I only glued the edges though, not the center. It's worked well so far but if it fails I think I'll use your duct tape idea. I too wanted to be able to remove the cartridge belt from the canvas for washing etc. Quote
Clamps[TK] Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 wow. I love it when I'm mentioned, but not followed! I use chicago screws for the belt. What length chicago screw do you use? Will 1/4" suffice, or should I got for 1/2"? Quote
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 1/4" is best to use, at 1/2" it would be too long. I also drill the Ab plate in the center, this allows the chicago screw to keep the belt in place, by attaching the plastic, canvas, and ab plate all together. Quote
Clamps[TK] Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 1/4" is best to use, at 1/2" it would be too long. Thanks Vern, I will consider this option when my kit arrives. See ya out west in a few weeks. Quote
dm101[TK] Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 My AP armor arrived. I am working on the belt. As far as I can tell. I do not have the 3 white snap covers. Anyone selling these? Craig dm101 Quote
SuperTrooper Posted July 2, 2012 Report Posted July 2, 2012 If a part was missing from your kit contact the maker about making it right. Quote
