Sam T Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Right lads, basically i want to make a armadillo plate. I've used tyres but i seem to think that they look messy and horrible. Im thinking somehting along the lines of a old 661 kneeshin pad ? Post any ideas or any suggestions, thanks ! Sam- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multi tasking male Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 you could use a plastic pipe and chop it in half to make it half a tube lol or you could try making something with some handy sowing work, get some cloth or tuff material or something and put somthing thick in between two sheets of your material like d3o or something, that would be perfect.

PeanuckleJive Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Anything DIY usually looks pretty shabby, it's just good because it's cheaper I used a section of drainpipe, lined with pip lagging and held on with cable ties once it wasn't pretty but it did the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i was thinking of lining it with something, but i cant sew! Im thinking like maybe an old 661 shin pad and putting over it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
multi tasking male Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 or just got another idea, you could rap some grip tape around it, you could get it in whatever color you want and if you spend some time doing it and do it neatly it wont look to shaby. chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
