Mechanics Belt

[wayner]

Can anyone tell me where to get the Hardware from to make a scratch free Mechanics Belt? I’m looking for the Heavy Duty hardware, not the light stuff that weaver leather has. 
thanks

Try this rifle sling hook, as long as your belt is wide enough to accommodate it.  https://www.weaverleathersupply.com/products/39-rifle-sling-hook

Other suppliers have similar hooks.  I have a cheap single hook that either came from Weaver or SLC.  I have worn the belt every day for years and have no problems with its durability.  Belt is 8-9 oz 1.5" wide.  Single layer.

That one looks like it came from SnapOn. A while back, a customer of mine sent me his old SnapOn mechanics belt and this was the buckle. I even contacted SnapOn about it and they told me to take a hike. I'm pretty sure its proprietary to the brand...unfortunately.

Here is what you need. They offer 3 different attachment styles as well as 3 different finishes. You will have to make your stud attachment plate. Like I said, they make 3 different attachment styles. 1 style is threaded for a screw & the other to styles are a threaded stud style. 

Little suckers are expensive at $9 each.
