shadowmantis Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hi, just wondering if anyone had some info on the size of chicago screws for attaching the rear straps of the hip drop boxes to the belt. I know my moncal kit when i first built it about 5-6 years ago had them and i prefered them till one troop one backed out and i let someone talk me into riveting them. I'm re-straping my armor currently and would lvoe to go back to the screws but not sure what size i should grab thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerScout007 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 You mean the rivets? I used the same 1/8 rivets anywhere riveting was needed on this costume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowmantis Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 actually did mean chicago screws, i know thats what the kit came with 6 years ago.. now if those are no longer "OK" i can just go back to rivets. but in a way wouldnt mind the screws.

If it's hidden by the TD and you can't see them, I imagine you can use whatever you would like. Nothing more than rivets and velcro are needed though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I use 3/16 chicago screws with a drop of blue Loctite to secure them. Been trooping over 5 years & never had one come undone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
