I am going to make my wife a two prong mechanics bet. However, the reason why is she’s allergic to most metals pretty severely. The cheap one you see on Weaver and whatnot are nickel.  Her worst one. I saw a post on here from 2011 that somebody made these out of brass. Anybody still make two prong mechanics belt hardware from brass?

Yes, you can still get them in brass. Oddly enuf, my #1 son's belt needs a new buckle and all he finds are brass ones, which he doesn't like

Shame to say it but try Temu

Make a ranger belt; no hardware will touch her body.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

He ^^^^ has the exact right idea . . . and if you do go with a 2 prong buckle . . .  you can make it up to 2 inches wide . . . 

Best wishes . . .

You could make the other type of mechanics belt for her.  There's a type that has no buckle, but rather a metal hook hidden on the underside of where the buckle would normally be.   It's all "leather" on the exterior.  

Allot of those qualify as  a "2 prong" buckle as well, since many were made with 2 "prongs" on the backside.image.png.cee2d589d31c7ce658d9cc46a53897a6.png
