Shoulder straps questions.

[TK11057[501st]]

My shoulder straps snapped and instead of repairing the straps I replaced them (I used the broken straps to make some paste). My replacement straps are too long however, so I trimmed (from the back) 1 big bar and two smaller ones to fit properly after reading some forums about cutting the straps. Was wondering if this is approvable or will I have to buy a new set of straps. Any suggestions on which one to buy? Thanks in advance.

You should be fine with those, Thor.  Nice job on the repairs!!

Check out the updated CRL!  Language now clarifies that this is acceptable as L1

I have a question: Is this correct or is that last line on L3 supposed to be on L1?

Shoulder Straps For 501st approval: These shall be securely mounted in front and may free float in back. They may be affixed with rivets, Velcro, or adhesive.

For level two certification (if applicable): No visible rivets are allowed.

For level three certification (if applicable): These shall free float in back. These shall be glued in front. The plastic shoulder straps need to be held down in the back via a white elastic band to the white fabric that connects/bridges the chest and back piece. The rear tab of the shoulder strap is optional and may or may not be present.

Whoops - fixed.
