Does anybody make these?

[Timmmm]

I am going to make my wife a two prong mechanics belt. 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?

You might want to post a pic so we know exactly what you need.

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.

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.

Thanks to you Cumberland . . . as well as "Good job there, Pardner"

I've got an old brass buckle that I've hung on to . . . I knew some day I'd figure a use for it . . . and it'll take some "doing" . . . but I can see a belt in my future that will have a leather cover over the brass buckle . . . 

It's one of those buckles ya buy to prove you went to that event . . . but 40 years later . . .  most folks don't recall the event ever happening . . .  and the brass is kind of dirty black ugly anyway.  

May God bless,

Dwight
