mikewest Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Does anyone know a good source to buy the black or brown leather straps for the side mount tires in the fenders? I used to get them from Bernie De Winter. There are 1 inch wide with nickel plated buckle. Thank You , Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roaring20s Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Mike,I heard about the following individual at Hershey last year who makes these leather straps. His name is Karl Krouch, Sr, and he can be reached at krouchs@msn.com, or 717-697-9543. I hope this is helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Mereness Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Mike, I usually get them made at a saddle shop. Also, you may want to look into a Farm & Fleet or a Tractor suply (dog leashes, horse/cow leashes, belts, and etc.). Also ask Rick via www.whiteglovecollection.com - fellow is very nice to work with. Or, www.restorationstuff.com Also, I would assume Stan Gilliland has a source via www.AuburnCordparts.com And, Paul Fitzpatrick or Tom Rassmusen via Franklin clubBernie died some years back and the business was basically lost due to no one knowing how to take it over. I bought countless sets of mirrors over time from him - he was really great at his work.Does anyone know a good source to buy the black or brown leather straps for the side mount tires in the fenders?

Guest AlCapone Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I have had 4 sets made for 4 different cars at a saddle shop. Definitely better quality than mail order and they fit perfectly ! Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe in Canada Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) I bought a set from White Glove that were black but after three years they are now black and brown. I also use a saddle shop for any leather products now. Just had a pair of handles made for a trunk and they are perfect to the original. I just noticed this is an old thread.

JFranklin Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I think feed stores stock leather straps with nickel buckles, that is where I got mine for a T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
