LaserBrain99 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I would just get these, but the seller is taking a break for a while. I love the dimensioned drawing, and these seem to match perfectly. Check out McMaster part number 97461A674 http://www.mcmaster.com/#=u2wdv4 It seems to meet all the requirements for the split rivets. About $6 + s&h for a box of 25. I'm aiming for a Centurion build and I'm just a little unsure where these are used. Two for the thigh boxes Three + one on the abdomen plate Three on the kidney Nine total, correct?

gazmosis[501st] Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Actually, the fasteners that hold the thigh pack on are two piece speed rivets. They also have a slightly smaller diameter to the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaserBrain99 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks, Steve. A two-piece speed rivet may be more accurate, but these would meet Centurion requirements (actually EIB) for the thigh ammo belt. Do I understand correctly? Thigh ammo belt is attached to thigh with a solid head rivet or fastener in the upper corner and fastened to the lower thigh ridge. The solid head rivet attachment is painted white. Standard pop rivets are not allowed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locitus[Admin] Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Yes, we allow split rivets for the knee pack. But the correct one to use is the cap rivet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you get a whole 100 of them, but its only $11 before shipping. Id be interested in splitting these if your interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
