Re: Snibo's Oota TK Build
Does anyone have any cunning plans as to how to prevent the shins from rotating off centre when walking?

Re: Snibo's Oota TK Build
Never had that problem myself, but as a general concept, a bit of strategically placed foam (probably at the lower end) will grip against the undersuit as well as help hold it in place by providing a closer fit.Snibo1 wrote:Does anyone have any cunning plans as to how to prevent the shins from rotating off centre when walking?

Re: Snibo's Oota TK Build
Thanks Matt. I do have some running down the front of both shins. I will wrap some around the bottom just above the boot . That will also probably stop the bottom of the shin rubbing on the boot.

Re: Snibo's Oota TK Build
Probably either side of the midline is what you need. Work out where the space is in cross section, and fill that space.

Re: Snibo's Oota TK Build
Yup what Matt said. I've put a bit of foam on the top back and front to centre the shin and then I packed out the bottom front a bit works really well. If you need to I'd recommend packing the forearms/ biceps tooSnibo1 wrote:Does anyone have any cunning plans as to how to prevent the shins from rotating off centre when walking?

Re: Snibo's Oota TK Build
That did the trick - problem solved by the look of it. The extra bits of foam down by the boot stopped it rotating. I also trimmed a bit off the back behind the knee which helped with getting up the stairs.
Thanks again!
