Terry, your ROTJ's is amazing to the very much small details :) Kudos to you !! I have the same JP, guants, amor, and of course the great BBF ammobelt :)... will try to make it look as better as yours :) Your thread of attaching the WB amor to the vest is a great inspiration to me as well :)

cheers,
frank

Hey Bro! Thanks for the compliments. Really appreciate it :D.

As for the bolt attachment (http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f25/attaching-armor-screw-mounting-wickedbeard-armor-parts-1-2-a-35485/), my inspiration came from bobamaker (http://www.thedentedhelmet.com/f25/attaching-armour-tutorial-20322/). Since WB Armor is metal, I decided on the JB Weld. I use smaller screws, more of them and cap/acorn nuts. 90-95% of the original screws are still firmly attached to the armor. Several detached when the vest slipped off a hanger and hit the floor from about five feet up. I have tried other adhesives but have come back to the JB Weld. JB Quick to be exact. This is working out nicely, but work time is short. You have to move pretty quickly. Of course, surface prep is very important.

Take care!
