Jeff Duncan[TK] Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Hi All I adding the plastic ammo boxes and the drop boxes to my canvas belt, but now I can't seem to get it to snap into the front of the abdomen piece. It's almost as if the plastic portion is preventing the snaps from attaching correctly. Any thoughts?

themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Could be you’ve not allowed room for the belt to curve, did you figure out the hole positions on a flat surface? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Duncan[TK] Posted September 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Could very well be I attached it incorrectly. Is there a good method to remove the rivets and try again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 A drill! Just be careful go slow and have a wet towel to cool the rivet so it can’t melt the plastic. Drill in short bursts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Snaps definitely don't hold well if they are on a slight angle. Follow Chris's suggestion and use a sharp drill bit, seems to help reduce the heat. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fragarock[TK] Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 My snaps never held well either. I attached white velcro strips to help hold the belt in place. One in the front middle and one on each side of the ab piece. Once its wrapped around and tightened at the back, it's not coming off.Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Duncan[TK] Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I redid the pop rivets after measuring again and the belt works fine now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
