Vraeden Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 How do you guys attach the thermal detonator to the belt? I have a Studio Creations kit and they just sent me zip ties. Thanks in advance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vraeden Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 How do you attach the whole assembly to the belt? I’ve seen some people mention money clips, ALICE clips or the clips people use for power tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aradun Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Here you go...Clips can be purchased here:https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07MR3CQCC/?coliid=I9C80S7S166H1&colid=17ZNF8WW4QACN&psc=1Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 The two sets of metal clips are riveted to the tubing. Then the the clips just slide over the back side of the belt webbing. I had originally had velcro on mine as well, but I removed it, because in the end I didn't need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only asking because I have mine mounted with Phillips machine screws and will correct if wrong.If the tube is hollow then rivets makes sense and would be the better more secure option. My RS tube is filled with foam so screws were a better choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the most common method, since most vendors supply their kits with a piece of vacuum tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just make sure your screws are well secured as that connection will get stressed whenever you bend over or kneel down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
