Bowfanny Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Okay so I'm working on strapping my armor components and SC included instructions for all of their gear. My big question is, what size straps are the best to use for each elastic strapped part? SC included 1.5 mm for shoulders, elbows/forearms, and knees. I ask because I'd rather have the proper straps than to widen the strap holes and not have the correct strap size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivian Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 The sizes for each are correct to 501st CRL. So check there, not all are the same. Knees and i think forearms get the thinner stuff. 2nd page has finer details if I recall Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivian Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I've already widened the holes on the body pieces to CRL 50mm, then I see in the lancer specs its approx 45mm :/ prob too big now Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowfanny Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Lancer spec said forearm straps are 1" and bicep armor 1-3/8 inch. I pm'd Griffin asking for clarification once he's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivian Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 That matches the graphical on 501st.com and how I've divvied mine up. I don't intend on cutting any more as they seem to fit well. Just there was no way the 2" was going in the hole nicely on the body parts so I chomped into them :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowfanny Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 There was another thread that had conversation about the slots being made open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivian Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Poop. Made a mess of mine then :/ Sent from my XT1092 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowfanny Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Couldn't have made a total mess of it man. Besides I am being extremely careful on assembly with mine because it's a lot easier to take off than to put back on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
