Ab plate to kidney plate join?

[skirge66]

Hey guys, first time builder here and was looking for a little advice, and perhaps some pictures from the pros. I want a good clean closure between my ab plate and kidney plate, does anyone have a good process to make to join with picture inside and out, of how to bring the side joins together cleanly and have them stay closed?

The originals are connected with split rivets and a single snap. 3 split rivets on the ab and 3 on the kidney connected together by elastics on the left side. On the right side by a single snap on an elastic strap glued to the kidney. The belt that goes around the torso takes care of the rest.

 

It's clean looking and works great.

Thank you Locitus for the reply, do you by chance have pictures... or a link to pictures of it? Appreciate you time.

Yes, we have plenty in our gallery: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/gallery/

 

This one has a different kind of split rivets with a pattern, but most were just plain brass painted white.
