Dubfunkstar Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 It looks like I will have over lap on my lower back plate. Is that okay or do I need to trim it to fit so there is no overlap? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you suit up the lower armor follow the contour of your body. Bellow you can see how I did it in my armor. And here there are some reference images Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Also adding V tabs can help keep the butt plate from overlapping With a heat gun (oven / hot water bath) you bend strips of ABS plastic into the shape of a V, only glue one side and the other remains free to allow movement when you bend. Just helps stop the butt plate from pushing back from the back plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRascalKing[TK] Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 I haven't had much luck with bending ABS, but have found these work well to accomplish the same thing and with a little dab of epoxy on the butt plate side only, are now a standard addition on suits for me! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07793L26V/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
