Shoulder Strap Octogons

[smeddawg]

Does anyone have specific sizing on these, length, width etc. I'm going to have to cut some from some spare abs I have, but I need a baseline to start from. Thanks for the help.

No doubt someone who actually has armor in hand can give you more accurate measurements, but for reference the squares on the chestbox are 1". So looks like 3" and some change longways, and 2 1/2" wide, with around 1/3" on the cut corners, and about 1/8" thick.

That's based off of this:

Thanks for the reply, that gives me something to start with, I'll rough some out of abs and go from there.

I have my armor sitting out here in my bedroom. I'll measure one of my Octagons tomorrow and post the measurements here.

Cool thanks

If this helps, the Mon Cal ones I have are 4" long by 2 and 7/16ths" wide. I don't have any way to determine the angle of the cut so you'd have to make your best guess.

Thats perfect, I can always go with a 45 degree on the ends at like 1/4 inch. I'll use some of that spare abs you hooked me up with and do a few tests this weekend. Thanks man.

I didn't get mine measured today. Sorry about that. But, I have the same ones as Tie by Night.

8cm by 5.5cm and 30 degree cut in all 4 corners hope this helps
