I honestly dont know why you all try to stick the plates on the pads anyway. It is a shoddy path to go that will end up badly eventually. Sooner or later someoen will have them dislodge during a game....

Get a medial roll attached to your pad. Not hard to do if you can sew slightly. A repair guy can do it in probably 45 minutes. You can go with leather or nylon. To aid with weight I would instead use nylon as it is just as strong for what you will be using it for. Once the medial roll is attached punch holes in your plates using a hole punch. Then line up the holes on the pads and do the same. Then proceed to use your twine like material to sew the plates to the pad.

You want almost a wax covered nylon cording for the twine. Think of giant size dental floss......
I used the same industrial strength velcro that leafer used. Where would I go to purchase the cording?
