sjsobota Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hello - I’m starting to build my hard armor and have a couple of questions. What is the appropriate distance between shoulder bell and shoulder strap, and what is the appropriate distance between lower edge of shoulder bell and upper edge of bicep armor? I have about an inch for each, but wanted to check. In addition, the caps that came with the thermal detonator (unassembled) are about a quarter inch larger than the perimeter of the ridged tubing. Is this correct or should they be more similar in diameter? Thank you! FYI - I have pix but was unable to load them because they were too big per the uploader.

sjsobota Posted May 7, 2018 Author Share Posted May 7, 2018 thanks! I'm not as broad across as some, I guess - I had to tuck the shoulder bells right up to the shoulder straps to get them to sit properly on my upper arm. Easy answer, I guess! Thanks.
