Ok I finally got one of the vests in. My plan is to mount the Steelblitz armor on this vest, which is the pleather one. This will give me some practice and take away some of my fear for when I get in the leather LSFU vest and I mount the Cruzer armor on it.

I have used snaps before but I wanted to try using grommets and bolts. I have to say that I think the grommets and bolts are easier than the snaps. The process I used was to put a bit of velcro on the plates and vest and get them into position. Then I marked it with chalk and measured to make sure I stayed centered. I then place the grommets in the vest. I put the armor back on and made sure that it was lined up and spaced the way I wanted. I then took it off and marked the spots on the armor using the hole in the grommet to line things up.
Then I just JB welded the bolts on. It seemed easier to keep every thing lined up.
