When I was using 82 pat I had mine modified by having a A7A strap buckle sewn onto the main front closure. Made it stay closed no matter what. Also had a 2 in wide strap sewn down the middle of the belt the entire length, and sewn 1 inch apart in line with the rivets holes. Plus, two D loops so as to line up with the ladder locks on the yoke. With this mod I could use at the time just about any ALICE/PLCE pouch on the market. It worked great. As for the ammo pouches I used two issue ones on my weak hand side and a C9 pouch on my strong side. Over all this was one of the best mods I have seen on the 82 pat.
I can see getting the same mods done, but buy getting MOLLE sewn on instead as to utilize the new pouch system. I have been thinking about doing that one as well.
