Guest 1930 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I have looked everywhere I can think of on the web for this buckle, I can only find one that accepts 3/4 inch, this buckle was intended for 1/2 inch. Maybe someone here will have one somewhere, it needs to be identical to what I have shown here, two pieces, the smaller piece with the teeth slides on the larger body to grab the cord so it dosent come loose.Maybe someone know where to find these, I dont care what the cost is, I am in process of have some made by a professional metalsmith and that is going to really cost me so hoping someone here can help out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 1930 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I will look at the two sites, thanks for the tips, they are the original fastner for a 29/30 Dodge DA tool bag, I have it on loan from another member and trying to replicate it as authentically as possible.

Guest 1930 Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Dont want to get too excited yet but that buckles international does show the correct buckle with the correct # of teeth, I dont get too excited yet because just last night I was able to find a lot of 40 1/2 buckles ( incidentlly for .99 cents ) that are identical except they have 4 large teeth as apposed to the 5 small teeth that I need that this site also shows on their buckle. Closed ( of course :mad: ) for the easter weekend so will have to wait till Mon for them to reopen. Will keep you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Another question, there is a rivet looking deelie that holds the strap onto the main body of the toolbag, its head is 5/16 and without taking the bag apart ( which I will not and cannot do ) I can see that there are two little prongs that are attached to the underside of the head of this rivet ( I dont know what else to call it ) and pass thru these two pieces of material and are folded over to keep everything together. Anyone know what this rivet is called, anyone know if anything like that is still avail? Reminds me of the clips that you might see holding a book together, passes thru the prepunched holes and then is folded over to keep it all together. Thanks for any suggestions or info.

keiser31 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I believe they are called "split pins" or "split rivets". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Thanks John, a quick search using those keywords and I found them, hopefully I can find the correct size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 John, or anyone recognize what this piece of hardware is called, looks like a snap but it does not come apart , it has a solid backer to it. I have spent so much time on the buckle that I really havent put any real effort yet into the other few pieces.Last piece is the end piece that stops webbing from fraying, what might this be called so I can do a search, I have seen different terms but theyhavent proven very usefull in finding anything.

keiser31 Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 On a shoelace the metal piece at the end is called an "iglet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Ok neither of those mentioned comp. had the buckle, one of them listed it on their site but no longer carried it. If anyone can find that buckel I would give them a hundred bucks. Maybe now it will show up. My e-mail is jhason2@yahoo.com, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
