Question on Lancer Specs, Cod Piece

[keys]

I'm finishing up my Scout build with intentions to go for Lancer after basic approval. Running into a big problem with the cod piece however: the 2" strap that connects it in the back.

 

The problem? I'm small (towering 4' 11"). So small, I cannot... physically walk due to the width of that strap. If I sized down to like 1-5/8" strap, would this absolutely prevent Lancer? I mean, I can walk.... very bow legged lol... and not for long

It's elastic, it doesn't fold in half as it passes under? If not, it may be too tight. It just needs to be tight enough to keep the cod from flapping.

The cod strap should definitely be loose enough that you can walk! I made mine adjustable

Yup has to be 2 inches. for lancer specs.

We tend to walk bow legged anyway. I mean, have you seen how wide our speeder bikes are?

Thank you for the input!

 

I was thinking about work around because I was figuring it would be firm.

 

Would either be acceptable?:

 

1) build a second cod for Lancer, and keep one for trooping or...

 

2) sew in the strap right at my... bits... so the strap is thinner there but keeps to 2" in the front and back

 

 

Just thoughts!
