attaching the cape.

i've been hoping to find a good photo of the attaching device for the cape to the body, but i haven't found one yet. so i'm fishing for suggestions and possibly some good pics showing how you made it not fall to the ground.

They are called shoulder studs and they are attached to the neck armor. The stud on the left side of the armor, if you were wearing it, would unscrew and allow you to put your cape over it. You then screw the stud back down and your cape is in place. I am assuming that is what you were referring to.

Here are a few threads that have a couple reference pics.

well, huh. looks like i'm going to have to reform my back plate a little then.

Do you have any pics of your work so far? You can make these studs using keyboard keys and bondo.

Hmm so your neck armor and your back armor don't meet then. That is where your problem is, at least from looking at the pics is what I can tell.

yeah, i'm thinking that for a better fit i'm going to need to heat and reshape the plastic. guess i'll be doing that tomorrow when i start working on the new flak vest.
