Hello!

Anyone know either where to get or what they are called? The 3 brackets on the back of the armour.




All I can find are these things called Flush Mounts, they'll work, but I'd rather get the proper ones if I can. TIA

Make them from scratch.

Strip of sheet metal cut into 3 pieces.
Cut out V grooves.
Place in vise with 3 stips of wood the correct depth and width.
Close vise to shape metal.
Remove, trim edges if needed.
Drill holes.
Rivet to armor.
Done.

Now that I'm home, here's a better idea of what I'm talking about.
I had to make about a half dozen sets of these so I know it works.

Ah I guess I could do, but I'm guessing they are something that's easy to buy in shops? They look like something that you'd sit a roller blind in

The armor was all hand made and custom fit to each actor.
