Decided to look at attachment methods for the JP to this now centralised harness arrangement. Two hanger hooks protrude from the middle of the upper back from under the flak vest and through the rectangle on the back plate, Quite the same as Din's does as a practical element for removal during the show... anyway my take on this is simple as I am not looking for accuracy to the costume I am looking at a trooping kit.
So I have made up a plate that will attach to the JP using a sprung bit of metal to add resistance to the hooks from the harness, essentially a compression joint, simple, easy to make and should keep it in place... at some point I will add some concealed Neo magnets to the bottom that will grab on to the back plate using some metal inserts.. again low tech but it will keep it tight, in place and not at risk of lifting off my back........easy to self remove too..
I feel it will make better sense once completed and all shiney looking..
