I had a pic request for the rear attachment system that I used for my slide plates - making nylon loops that I belt loop the pad straps through.

Here they are...

Here are a couple of shots looking down on the knee plate. note that I heated and slightly curved all of the plates in order to life that back edge off of the ground and prevent some wear on the nylon cord.





Here are some shots of the boot plate:






Here's a shot looking up at the calf plate:



Here's one of the inside of the calf plate (the plates always look longer from the inside because they're attached to the front of the gusset while the actual padding on the pad is attached to the back of the gusset)


And here's a shot of the plates all together:



You can use a drill to make the holes. But, I found it a bit frustrating, because the drill bit in the size that you need won't go through the plastic on its own. You have to use a smaller drill bit to get through and then gauge it with the size that you need. And after you drill them, take an exacto-knife and carve out. I believe that I started with 1/16" and worked my way upto 1/8" drill bit.

Although, I found it easier to use the same leather punch that I used on my medial roll to punch the holes out of the plastic. It just required less steps and took far less time.
