BikerScout007 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 You dont have to remove any pockets that can't be seen once you have your armor and other gear on. Typically it's just pockets on the rear that need to be removed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The belt and drop boxes cover them up. Some people sew them up to hide them but then where are you going to keep your keys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kacrut Posted July 12, 2019 Author Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) a brief update for my Scout parts. i went to purchase a zipties and cable mount for my chest and shoulder bell.. here's the picture... I'm not glue it yet as i still 'hoarding' parts 😬 and i have to trimed/cut the cabble mount a bit for shoulder bell as it big and it not curve. I purchase a pack of 4.8mm (100) zipties and a bunch of 40mm cabble mount for my chest armour... you never know right? Muaahahaha{evil laugh} ... just kidding😬😬 Edited July 12, 2019 by kacrut i forgot something.... ... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.J Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 Hey Louis are you going for Lancer? I have pants pockets, well hidden on the side, deep enough for my phone. The side pocket on your arm for the pen, should be easy to unpick. The yellow thingy is called an unpicker pretty does what its called. Also a small tip, I tend to have all the soft parts done before fitting the hard armour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the middle of searching a wire for my Thermal Det Hose... i see some cable wires type AWG16, 3mm in diameter that was the seller said... need to ask google later LOL!.. I've found this from my local onlineshop ... similar 3mm outer width, but the height are 10mm. it is for aluminium frame edge *Edit/Update* after the seller send me a reply he said that it's NOT 3mm Outer Diameter(OD) it is Inside Diameter (ID) so it for 3mm alumunium or glass...

Thank you. I’m not sure if that’s going to be sufficient to maintain the shape of the boot but when you sew the Velcro on and the seam along the top it might give it just enough rigidity. I don’t think you’ll want to double it unless it’s really thin as that will make stretching it difficult and you want it to be very smooth.From what I can see of the grain on the material it shouldn’t be an issue for Lancer. Do be sure to follow the boot build thread and make sure you sew your closures correctly. For the right boot the closure is right over left and the left boot it’s left over right. It’s a good idea to use a pencil and mark the parts for your left and right boots for reference. Also, the dog bone should not cross over onto the sole of the boot. Just things to keep in mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, Thank you very much. I'll copy-paste on my note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
