Well dang, i missed that part. Had allready pre-drilled and pre-attached all the fittings, but I used a metal rolling machine (looks like 3 large rolling pins with a hand crank.. dont know the name) To bend all the plates then shape it alittle bit to fit... usually with a rubber mallet over the curved end of an anvil. I should have put the leathers on first... Didn't think of that, blast...
Maybe ill take it apart and flatten them back out, that should make attaching the leathers quite a bit easier. All the straps are being put on with a slight curve as it is now... but maybe thats the way its supposed to be?
