justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Hola! I need some advice on trimming, please! I received the ATA chest plate to replace my current AM 2.0 one for my next level, (Centurion), but I noticed that they do not line up at all. Since I can't expand the ATA, it looks as if I am going to have to seriously do some trimming on the back plate straps in order to get them to line up. I have a heat sealing iron, and can put back the small return edge on the outside, if needed. Or, will I need to order a new ATA back plate to match? Many thanks in advance for any and all help!!!--------- Edited January 2, 2022 by gmrhodes13 link not working removed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artshot Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Hi The new sets of AM 2.0 have Centurion level chest plates, it might be easier for you to get a new chest plate rather than doing a lot of trimming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 I received my AM 2.0 armor a few months ago, and they thought the chest plate that they sent would be "acceptable at all levels", but unfortunately it isn't. I emailed them several times, asking about getting one that is acceptable, and they let me know that they were doing a run of ones that were, and would keep me updated. That was 2 months ago. That is why I went with ATA, and am wondering if I should just order an ATA back plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks for the pics, Clint! Makes me feel a lot better knowing that I may be able to just trim down the back plate straps a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRISTONAMO Posted May 13, 2015 Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 If I am right the first backplate included in the AM 2.0 and chest is not centurion approved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted May 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2015 You are correct, Christian, the old AM 2.0 back plate is only acceptable to EIB, but in Feb. of this year they re-tooled, and the ones that have come out since that are approved to Centurion, (I got lucky)!
