Members Bert03241 Posted June 24, 2023 Members Report Posted June 24, 2023 My fear would be putting a rivet thru any kind of rubber or silicone tubing will rip out in short order. I think wrapping several winds of a strong thread would work better. JMHO Quote
Members Wepster Posted June 24, 2023 Members Report Posted June 24, 2023 the wrapping is how slingshots are done, with bands or tubes. Quote
Members Wepster Posted June 25, 2023 Members Report Posted June 25, 2023 Found these looking for something else (of course), not the same, but same purpose https://www.amazon.com/Jdesun-Eyeglass-Adjustable-Connectors-Necklace/dp/B07SM679RR/ref=sr_1_122?keywords=cord%2Bends&qid=1687682617&s=arts-crafts&sr=1-122&th=1 Quote
Members CJJ Posted June 26, 2023 Author Members Report Posted June 26, 2023 Here's a finished one with the tubing I linked in the Amazon link. I think it looks pretty good for the application and so far seems like it will get the job done. I used double cap rivets to secure it. I'll see how it holds up over time. Quote

What is the width and thickness of your leather strap? Quote
Members GoldenLeatherCo Posted December 4, 2024 Members Report Posted December 4, 2024 I sell the silicone ends for these. I searched a long time to find these and thought this might help someone. https://goldenleatherco.com/products/silicone-end-attachment-for-leather-sunglass-straps-croakies-2-pc-set?_pos=3&_psq=sun&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Quote
