I think this is what you are looking for, right? @riddeth

 

 

I found it as "flat head hollow rivet" on ebay. Or "Semi-hollow Aluminum Rivet".

Nope that's not it

Hey. I'm looking to source the cap rivets. Any idea of the shank lengths?

[wingnut65[Staff]]

I just found them on Amazon.  Look for "Double Cap Rivets" .

 

Some of the kits they offer have different sizes.  A couple layers of ABS is probably around 1/16"

The double caps will work just dandy, but the ones used in the films were single cap.

Is it confirmed that the strap that goes across the shoulder bells is on all known armors 25mm 14 cord or is it just based on the RS suit?

 

It might be due to the limited pictures showing these details but imho the strap on Han’s bells and on the LFL archive bells looks smaller compared to the top strap and in reference to the biceps cover strips.
