Cadger Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 I could use some input on how to fit the butt plate.I've attached a photo of my rear where you cleary see the butt plate sticking out. This is the first time I wear the suit, so there is a few more things i need to adjust, but this is the most obvious.I'm thinking about either strapping it to the kidney plate, or a horizontal strap to the cod area. Is it also possible to heat the piece a bit and bend it a bit, to maybe get a more fitting curve? What do you think?I've also attached a photo of how the strapping is now.

Locitus[Admin] Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 One strap in the meddle and two to the sides. And yes, you can heat it up a little to bend it to fit you better. But be very careful when doing it. Also, you want to lower those biceps so they sit right on top of the forearms. Don't worry if they aren't covered by the shoulder bell.

Locitus[Admin] Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Doesn't matter what he wears, the biceps should still be right above the forearms, regardless of their position. And I'm pointing it out to him now to allow him to take that into consideration before doing something that might interfere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I put one around the front. I suck with a heat gun, so the one that connects the front tabs worked for me just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make the belt STAY I added velcro on the outside of my armor and velcro to the inside of my belt. I've had to re-do the velcro a few times, but it pretty much works for me. Like most things... trial and error. Once you get that fixed you'll have a fine looking butt plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
