LBT 9040a (RRV) compatible back plate carrier

[FOX_111]

Like the title say, I'm searching for a back plate carrier compatible with the LBT 9040a plate carrier. Also known as a RRV vest or Rodesian recon vest.

I saw how the Eagle Industrie back plate carrier work, with fastex bucles, but I don't have compatible bucles or any other attachements on the LBT rig. On the LBT website, I don't see any back plate carrier, wich they should logically have.

So I'm wondering if there is another gear maker that have something that would be compatible with minimum alterations.

I will have them in a couple days but in coyote tan.

Interesting. I really need it in OD, but if I ever get a new rig in Coyote tan, I will take a look at yours.

Even on the Eagle RRV, the backplate carrier isn't directly integrated: the fastex buckles on the rear plate attach to adapter straps which are fastened to the PALS strips on the RRV's shoulder pads.

This is the only semi-clear picture I could find to illustrate it:



On the right picture, see how the two loose male fastex clips are part of straps which are attached to the bottom strip on the shoulder pads?

So you just need the backplate carrier and straps with the same type of buckles (beware PANTAC's backplate uses the newer buckles, which aren't compatible with the old ones). The straps are just loops with snaps.

Is the backplate comming with the adaptor straps? I was thinking of buying replacement buckles from SupplyCaptain an be done with it.

I know the Eagle and PANTAC RRVs come with the straps (and I think Flyee, too); not sure about BHI, LBT, etc.

Worst case get the adapters separately from eBay and change the buckles if necessary
