As I am working on putting my armor and vest together, my thought is that using magnets would be an excellent method to temporarily align the plates on the vest in preparation for using other fasteners. Possibly use magnets temporarily glued to well marked locations on the plates, then align the plates on the vest and fix them in place with magnets on the inside of the vest. Once all is positioned perfectly - outline the magnet positions on the inside of the vest and remove the loose magnets. Then, simply permanently replace the temporarily attached magnets on the armor plates with pin backs, bolts, or Chicago Screws in your pre-marked locations, and install grommets centered on the marked locations on the vest. Seems like everything ought to then line up pretty easily? Wondering if anybody has tried something like this, or has a better method?
