Armor attachments HELP

[Thoar]

Need help with the grommet process. I’ve gone through and seen tutorials on how to do it but what I don’t have is the specific part names or where to buy them. Specifically the nylon bolts with the flat heads and the nuts that go on them. PLUS the 2 pieces the got around the screw head that glue to the armor. I’ve found the grommets but any help would be appreciated

I completely understand your frustrations as I've been there before with my build.

First you need the blue prints to the screw assembly as provided generously by RafalFett here. You will have to fabricate the 'support' plates on your own, and you can purchase the M5 plastic screws here.

I shared my processes here and here.

I hope this helps!

Thanks for the info and links Tenn! If I may ask, what did you make the support plates from?

ABS plastic, but you could use styrene plastic sheets too, whichever is easier for you to procure.

Thickness of the sheets?

1.5mm as mentioned in RafalFett's blueprint.
