V-Tabs for back and butt plate.

[IronBronson]

Does anyone have a tutorial or guide on how to make and attach these to my armor? When wearing my sand trooper suit without my radio pack I notice the butt plate riding up on my back plate, which I then found that the solution is to install these V-tabs. I just don't know how to make them necessarily.

This is the one I used.  Don't overthink this fix.  It's pretty easy to do.  So easy that even I managed it!

No how to, I posted it in a few threads previously, it's been shared across a lot of builds and EIB threads

 

With a heat gun or oven 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.

Perfect thank you! Now I can get started on this, it was one of the last things I wanted to finish.
