trimming the belt and using velcro instead of rivits

[Guest ladyscout1979]

Hi i have made the belt up to the point when you rivit the last two parts to the webbing,the problem i have is there's to much plastic and i wanted to know if you can trim the ABS down. Also can you use velcro instead of riviting the ABS to the webbing?

If you need to trim some off to fit ya better, trim away. I'd still suggest using rivets since it's much more secure than just velcro. What I did for my belt was to rivet it to the webbing and also add velcro to the inside of the webbing and to the corresponding spots on my 'bund. That way, I don't have any belt droop and it just plain looks neater.

oh i didnt think of that i never did this with the TK but understand with this belt against the fabric would move around thank you for the tip, what i was worried about is riviting and finding out my belts to big also with the abs i will trim away thank you, do you have any photos of your belt?

Oh thank you Tony good job you said

The Lancer qualifications state nothing about it being just one rivet on the belt. It's one rivet on the tank topper instead of the 2 which the SC instructions show.

Sorry thought i read some where that it was one rivet as shown per screan shots.

if im wrong i stand corrected

SC instructions do also show two rivets for strap to the belt

Definitely use rivets, much more secure. I would also recommend using washers on both sides of the rivet. I used toothed washers on the sides, of the rivets, that connected directly to the webbing so that it was a little more secure fit. Flat washers I used on the sides, of the rivets, that connected directly to the ABS plastic.
