SG Krux frame + EXO bag

[jmsdad]

I recently bought a used exo 3500 bag off the classifieds here to mate it to the SG Krux frame.

Bottom 3/4" exo webbing cut off and 1" webbing loops with ladder-locks sewn in so I can use the webbing on the Krux frame





Same thing on the other side...1" webbing and ladder-locks





For the top attachment, I closed off the exo opening with some scrap cordura and sewn in some loops with ladder-locks just like on the SG bags. The exo bag frame attachment sleeve is a bit roomy for the slimmer SG Krux frame, so I sew 3/4" off each side and bar-tacked...More snug fit than before





More pics of bag/frame

For the lid, the 3/4" exo wave-lock buckles were cut off and 3/4" tri-glides took their place. A piece of velcro is sewn in the middle along with a matching webbing with velcro on the lid

All done on this new to me Japanese made Singer 20U sewing machine (circa 1960s) that I picked up over the holidays for a smoking price. I wanted a machine that was a bit heavier duty than the portable table-top units that didn't cost an arm and leg. This one has reverse and the zig-zag function for bartacking...

Looks pretty good.

Nice work. I've been wanting to upgrade my machine to do more heavy duty work with multiple layers of webbing and cordura so I can get projects like this done.

Did the same thing with an exo 5500 to the new Kifaru Frame. Not sure if you saw the post.
