27555[TK] Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I've got a ANH AP kit I've had done since August last year and had my first failure, my plastic shoulder strap on my left side snapped clean at the chest, I've made temp fix but I'd like to replace it. Is anyone selling replacement AP parts? I've already emailed AP tonight, but I figured a post wouldn't hurt. Also, what do you do to prevent a break like this? how would you reinforce the straps? Here is a picture of the break before any repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyTrigger[TK] Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 How did this break? Did it break while your armour was ... In storage? In transport Or while you were wearing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27555[TK] Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 In transport, I've got a soft duffle right now because of my car, can't find a tote small enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkrestonva[TK] Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 As a temporary fix, wrap the break in white duct tape. Suprisingly enough, very few people will notice and it'll hold together until you can get a replacement. A garrison mate of mine has been trooping with this "temporary" fix for a couple of years now, and only a few people - all of them being fellow garrison members and/or handlers who help her get in and out of her kit - have even noticed.

27555[TK] Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I'm going to put white pvc tape under both I think, it's glued together right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Aloha[Admin] Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 This seems like an AP epidemic An outpost mate had the same thing happen. Others have posted about this too of late. I thought maybe epoxying some light fiberglass cloth.... or even actual cloth... on the underside of the should bridge would help keep it solid. But then again I thought of it because I have access to lots of epoxy and glass. -Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRISTONAMO Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 It's possible you should resend your email to mark, I did and he replied right away because my belt snapped in half He shipped it today though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_speed[TK] Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 My shoulder strap snapped too. I'm not sure of the maker of my armor, but I know it's styrene. Where can I get replacement straps? I don't care what maker it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_speed[TK] Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 I checked with ATA and its $15 plus shipping. How much does AP charge? I have an email into Mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
