Need Help +POS Shin Guard Repair

[jkumpire]

Hi Men!

I have used POS shin guards for longer than I care to remember. Now I have two sets with major problems, and i am wondering if there is any help I can get.

1. I have a set of 316/18's, the ones Al Clark endorsed. They had the pad above the knee, w/no plastic on it. Well, just below the knee they had a plastic pad that gave protection for the area. Well the pad is cracking, and I need to find a way to replace the pad, or put something else on it.

2. I just got some 318/18's off ebay, I think it is the one Joe Brinkman endorsed. This set of guards is really, really worn. At the top of the knee cap the pad for the lower thigh is attached to the knee cap by two pieces of stretch material riveted to both pads. On both guards the elastic is ripped and breaking. Does anyone know how to replace these pieces, and rerivet them?

Thanks for your help! If you need to see pictures, I will be happy to make them available.
