Nice!! Are you going to do the locking clutch style like these or the ones with set screws?
I'm really considering doing this to. I like having the armor mounted the screen accurate way with the grommets and bolts but this is so useful since it can be adjusted super easy and doesn't punch holes in the vest.
I'm going to do the clutch kind. Screw the set screw action. One more thing to lose

Oh I understand that its going to have to make some small holes but like you said it's much smaller and much less permanent than grommets. Another plus is it's lighter than magnets to. I had narrowed my options down to either magnets or grommets since I have no desire to use Velcro and this just seems to be a much better option for me than both of them. I may still use the grommets on the shoulder bells though so that they hang right.
Totally doing this to my set... thanks for the info you little pioneer you
Guys, I had plans to use some super glue to hold my tacks in place while I put a little epoxy on there. The CA glue sure seemed to be holding them in place. I had roughed them up with some sandpaper. Do you think epoxy would just be overkill? No big deal to do it, but why do so if not. I may just give one or two a good tug and see what I think.
Overkill? No such thing when it comes to a trooping Boba Fett Suit in my mind. Personally, I would definitely use epoxy. If for nothing else but the ease of mind it's worth the extra waiting time. Looking good though! I should have known you would go with gold jewelry pins...you're just so classy!
As you wish

How is this working out for the shoulders? I'm happy with magnets for my chest armour so far, but I haven't decided what to do with the shoulders.
just for giggles...i ordered some 14mm wide ear ring pins. I like the wide base on them but the pin may be to long who knows just curious....
