The strap slots on my belt are not wide enough for the 1.5" drop belt.

I have had this belt for some time and I finally want to get the correct size straps. I grabbed a piece of scrap 1.5 wide nylon and discovered that the current slots are not wide enough to accommodate the strap. Do I just have to widen the slot? *edit* I I just realized I am holding 2" wide strapping. But you can still see it's not wide enough.

That look like an SC belt. That what I have and while it's a little tight my 1.5" straps fit through the slots. It looks like you might have to open them up a little more. Here's a pic of my belt with the slots cleaned out.

 

 

Here's where the come through the back.

 

Here they are suited up.

 

Maybe hit the slots with a rat tail file and some sand paper to smooth. That should do the trick.

Thanks for the response. I am very relived to hear and see that. I think all of my armor is SC, I just think who ever had it before me didn't take care of it. He double riveted the web belt to the end. So I had to take that little bit off so I can have just the one rivet. I have everything taken apart. I am going to clean, sand and straighten as much as I can..Like I said in my other posts. (wow I have posted a lot in the last few days LOL). I know I wont be able to apply for lancer but it's going to look good.

You just keep on keeping on brother we're to help you along. As far as Lancer is concerned there's no reason you can't take your armor to that next level. You already have a great start with your upgrades it's just a bit more to reach that next level and we're here to help you along the way. Look forward to seeing this kit come along and keep posting those questions and posting pics love to see the progress!

Thanks for the words. I will be honest. With me working on this and other life changes I have going on. I am really pumped and motivated. (yes I know they mean the same thing LOL). To get this done... I think it's going to look 1000 X better than when I first joined the Legion.
