A four-pack of corner brackets was purchased to hold the two large batteries in place on the two test vests. The brackets will only hold the battery from wobbling but a cover will keep it from falling out. The metal on the ends was cut away then the edges were ground down with a bench grinder and an angle grinder.
One set of brackets had corresponding pilot holes drilled in a vest and it was mounted. The battery was held and will not fall out when covered but it was not snug. Padding will be applied to the braces and vest to hold the battery firmly.
A 3/4" PVC coupler, a 45mm length of 3/4" PVC pipe, and an electrical enclosure were loosely fitted together and painted orange. The orange should alert observers that no weaponry is being used.
