Armor straps

501st says elastic , lancer is non elastic webbing. Does that mean I put elastic to get into 501st then replace for lancer status ?

Yes, or just stick in non elastic in the first place so you don't have to go replacing anything at a later date.

 

The base standard is just that, a base. You can always go higher with various parts and that will not stop your clearance.

So I can just use non elastic webbing and that will be good for basic clearance and lancer?

Ok. Mine came with 35mm white elastic. I will just buy cotton webbing to replace the stuff that i cut (after i make the slot bigger somehow)

I just figured out how to make slots. Use a small drill bit to put holes in for the slot ends, then use the circular sanding/cutting piece on a dremel to cut the slots in. Just do step 2 again and push the slots open a bit more by sanding them out.

 

Hope that isn't too confusing.

Yup, there are many ways to make the slots bigger, or add them in...

 

Get a router bit on your dremel and router the slots manually.

 

Drill either end and use a disc cutter bit to cut out the slot between the two.

 

Or drill either end and use a slot cutter to trim the bit in between.

 

 

 

 

Just out of interest... which strap are we talking about here?? The one between the chest plate and the back plate??

 

If so, get some that is the same as what is used for the drop straps.

Yup. Chest n back. Alas I have no drill. Small apt in Tokyo lol will have to borrow one or improvise. Ill try to find the webbing used for my boxes.
