'Sokay, they're not exactly rare, but if Homebase are out of stock I'll pop over during next week and get the metal stock off you while I'm there. :)

I'm currently also modifying the ab pad armour, adding some braces (suspenders, for our US peeps :wink: ), rivetting them onto the ab pad for secure fastening, so I don't have to use duct tape every Drop to hold it up. :roll: :wink: :D

Ran out of the right size rivets though, so will pop up to Homebase tomorrow to get some more. :)

Pics to follow when finished. 8)

Ab pad finished. :)

Trying it out over my work clothes, as BDUs currently being worked on:

Showing detail of rivets to top/front and rear strap:

Fits really well. 8)
