Vest Help with vest & armour attachment

[Short4ATrooper]

I’m getting around to fitting the armour to my flak vest, or at least getting the fittings in place as I still need to paint my armour pieces but I understand it’s easier/better to do the fittings before painting.

I’m aware of and understand the technique from watching the RS Props video and from Raf’s diagram but I’m having trouble finding the correct type of plastic or nylon screws to get. What should I be looking for? When I search “nylon M5 screws” the heads are either too big or domed/rounded

Do you live within the United States? I’d suggest checking out Ace for nylon screws.

No, UK

I suggest eBay. Depending on what you buy, some come with the screw and bolt head.

Thanks man. I think I’m looking for something that matches the exact dimensions in Raf’s diagram where I’m probably better off going for the closest thing and adapting as necessary
