Does my back plate need more trimming?


Recommended Posts

I cut it out to what looked like the right shape, but now trying to join with kidney I see there are two 'wings' in the way (bottom tips). These don't follow the line of the kidney plate.

The pencil line is roughly where I think I should trim more - am I right?

Thanks - glad I asked before trimming! :)

 

I went ahead and taped the pieces together to get a better sense of how it all goes together - how does this look?

 

I started by putting it together like this:

But it seemed too small (I 'tried it on' as best I could) so I made the gap between the back and kidney bigger. Is this too far? It seems I could open up the kidney/butt gap a bit maybe? What are the acceptable gaps for Centurion?

So split the difference then? Go for about half that gap each?

 

These guys don't appear to have much of a gap at all - should I really shoot for no gaps between back and kidney? I might be able to do it if I let the butt plate ride a bit higher - or does the belt pretty much cover the lower gap?

Yeah your belt will cover the butt kidney gap, but it's alright to have a gap there. The back and kidney should be right against each other. So I suggest moving the kidney up a bit.

If you look at the two guys in the rear of the above photo you can see that the belt doesn't cover the butt > kidney gap at all. It sits right above it.
