How to build a biker belt

[Commodore212]

Hey guys I bought a biker scout belt and everything is working good but I am unsure of how to attach the plastic Pieces to the fabric belt part . The side boxes I’m pretty sure are riveted but do I rivet or E-6000 the buckle on? And is the buckle connected to the side boxes? I circled a part on the buckle in red, wondering if I should drill a hole there to put a rivet into. Thank you!https://www.dropbox.com/s/yvbx57onjynry5c/Photo Nov 07%2C 5 51 29 PM.jpg?dl=0

Also I don’t have rivets or a river gun is there anything else I could use?

I always e6000 the fabric belt to the plastic and then a rivet with a piece of extra plastic for backing. Heres a thread with some good info on a three piece belt. Also did the belt come with holes pre drilled like that?

Also a rivet gun will run you less than 10 bucks at harbor freight and I think some Walmarts carry them. Then a pack of 1/8 rivets and rivet washers.

The kit I got was made to have holes there and I E-6000d the 3 plastic pieces together as was instructed by another 501st member but I will rivet and glue the belt on. How are the thigh boxes attached in the back?

I would sew them on,but a lot of people rivet them on as well.

Is there a specific place to rivet them or is it just wherever on the belt it ends up?

Once you get the boxes setting where they need to be have someone mark the spot on the  belt. You want the area where they are attached too be covered up by the thermal detonator.

To give you a idea of what I mean. Now placement will vary from person to person. Took this front the thread I linked you up with.
