Anovos strap replacement


Recommended Posts

Great to hear that you are upgrading your Anovos strapping, Andy!  There are a few options you can go with... one is the "classic" system, which uses brackets, elastic and nylon webbing, but you can also opt for the snap (or double snap) method.  If you choose the classic system, Tony (ukswrath) has an incredible tutorial located here:

Here is a link to Mr.NoStripes' sales thread for the brackets:  https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/20859-accurate-anh-stormtrooper-strapping-brackets-v-20-now-available/

 

If you choose the snap method (most of us use this) you can follow his instructions as well for mounting the snaps, and here is a diagram (below) my buddy Jeff (wingnut65) came up with that may help.  Please note that he uses the "double snap" system on it.  Using two snaps in the areas shown will eliminate any chance of anything falling off during a troop.  It costs a bit more in the beginning and takes a bit more time, but the results are well worth it, I assure you.  Either way I would invest in a wood burning (soldering) tool.  They are less than $20.00, and will make your life MUCH easier.  You use it to make holes and seal the ends of the nylon webbing/elastic.  https://www.lowes.com/pd/Weller-Electric-15-Piece-Wood-Burning-Kit/3402984

Where can I order the strapping system please
 

Your best bet is to purchase or order the individual items, Arthur.  Many of them can be purchased at a fabric shop (like Joanne's) or online (eBay).  When you buy it online, you will probably have to order a lot more that you need, but doing that often saves money.  For a complete list of items you will need, here is a link to my "Supply list..." thread:  https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/31404-supply-list-for-your-tk-build/
