You wouldn't have accurate schematics by any chances?

For whatever reason the site will not allow me to post it up but here we go...
Draw a rectangle, then cut off the top corners as per the below:
THESE ARE 44W PLATES - They WILL NOT stop live rounds! You need AR500 to do that!!
Front / Rear Plate Dimensions: (Large SAPI)
13.25" Total Height. Before Forming.
10.125" Total Width. Before Forming.
The cut off angle is 57 degrees from the sides to the top. Work this out on your drawing and you are good to go.
Roll the plates to R16 (32" Diameter) if you have a 44" Chest.
Without a Die for the clavicle indent, pressing will not be possible.
At the roll radius you do not really notice it sticking in your face. If you want to go to the expense of making a die it is easily with small piece of pipe welded to a base then filled with sand.
If you want the side plates, then roll to R10 ( 20" Diameter), the same material thickness:
Width 7"
Height 6.75"
If this answers the questions then cool if not I will take a pic of the pic and post up!
