ATAUK[TK] Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Did you use nylon or elastic for the bell to bell strap? And how do you like it? I tried doing it with some elastic and I was t happy with the look. You seem to have no problems with it so I figured maybe I can get some pointers if I redo mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk My elastic basicly joins bothe bells together behind the neck area and under the neck seal Size of my shoulders etc and stupid frame lol .Webbing kept on pulling on the shoulder bridge webbing . So after a few pointers i went with the elastic and works great Feels good to . I may add a snap on each bridge webbing to stop any movement but i dont think its going any where . Another option was to join both bridge webbing with the elastic then attach the bells on there own using the original popper method .

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Follow up question I probably should have included in the original post... what width elastic is it? And is it connected directly in the center of the bells at the top?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATAUK[TK] Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 35 /38 mm Its what ive used for the strapping throughout and what i initiall intended to use when joining the bells individually . Popper base is in the same place to . Just at the top of the shoulder bell Its at this point both bells are linked together Hope that helps mate Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to update your title on a PC, just hover over the title and you should get an option to amend it.

lucnak[TK] Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Went back in your thread to peruse some of your photos. Some observations: Your cover strips on the forearm are extending past the edge. You should trim them down. Your thighs are sitting a bit low. You should wear them a bit higher if you can. Your left shin and thigh are not aligning. Just pay attention to that when you suit up Your butt plate is coming up a bit and not sitting directly under the kidney plate. I think just the cover strips could hold you back from EIB. Didn't go all the way back to hunt for your helmet or blaster photos. Just make sure you read the L2 requirements for the CRL and check out some approved EIB costumes using RWA as well. The DOs will give you official feedback!
