size of chicago screws for belt

[shadowmantis]

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

You mean the rivets? I used the same 1/8 rivets anywhere riveting was needed on this costume

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!

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.
