IMHO mounting like this will never yeild what gluing it would. You will constantly be hikeing it up.. adjusting it.. ect.. so- to answer your question- I dont have a good answer ;)nondisclosed_email@example.com (Kbillan)Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:42:30 +0000 Re: options for mounting leg armorhttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2111765,from=rss#post2111765https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2111765,from=rss#post2111765So cut my butt crack and some elastic at the top? Should I do anything where my cut ends so that it does not go any further?? :doh nondisclosed_email@example.com (cougar184)Fri, 22 Aug 2008 13:47:57 +0000 Re: options for mounting leg armorhttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2111726,from=rss#post2111726https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2111726,from=rss#post2111726Very good work you did there.

If you don't want to glue it to the undersuit you can try to sew the legs on the undersuit. I did it this way and it worked out fine. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Record9)Fri, 22 Aug 2008 10:49:45 +0000 Re: options for mounting leg armorhttps://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2111724,from=rss#post2111724https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2111724,from=rss#post2111724You will have to split it. I had to on my panther, and it turned out fine. Just have a 6" butt crack.. Base the mount off of your knee cap, and where the cod area lines up. Its best to have your top mounted and trimmed first.. (if your doing a 2 piece suit) so that you can line the legs up with the top.

I'm trying to stay away from glue as much as possible on this one as I plan to redo as soon as I can figure out an undersuit for the suit. just need something to wear for a few events and Halloween this year.nondisclosed_email@example.com (cougar184)Fri, 22 Aug 2008 10:44:47 +0000 Options for mounting leg armor without glue.https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2111721,from=rss#post2111721https://bbrotherhoodofthebat.runboard.com/p2111721,from=rss#post2111721Got a question for you guys. I just got a new set of armor and I'm wondering the best way to mount it with out gluing it down to the undersuit. The leg armor is complete and goes all the way around the leg with no break but I'm a bit bigger that the armor so I cant pull it up all the way. Just wondering what my options are?nondisclosed_email@example.com (cougar184)Fri, 22 Aug 2008 10:35:50 +0000
