Members BigRiverLeather Posted July 19, 2009 Members Report Posted July 19, 2009 Where can I buy the parts for holster tension scres. I'm guessing it just screws into a T post, and I can use a button head cap screw, but what about the other parts? It looks like I might be able to just use a rubber grommet, but what do I use to screw the screw through? It almost looks like a snap post, but not quite. Quote
Members BOOMSTICKHolsters Posted July 19, 2009 Members Report Posted July 19, 2009 I like an 8x32 flat head cap screw seated in a finishing washer, coupled with an 8x32 T-nut. I like to use fuel line as a compression washer. Quote
Members BigRiverLeather Posted July 19, 2009 Author Members Report Posted July 19, 2009 Perfect. So simple, but it's nice to be pointed in the right direction. Quote
Members woolfe Posted July 19, 2009 Members Report Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Mine are basically the same. Except I use 6-32 and I will trim the t-nut down clean the edges and put it in a counter sunk washer. Edited July 19, 2009 by woolfe Quote
Members Shorts Posted July 19, 2009 Members Report Posted July 19, 2009 I like an 8x32 flat head cap screw seated in a finishing washer, coupled with an 8x32 T-nut. I like to use fuel line as a compression washer. I use this method as well, probably because it was here I was pointed in the right direction on how to go about tension screws Quote
Members STPENNER Posted August 17, 2009 Members Report Posted August 17, 2009 That's just what I've been looking for, but where do you get the black oxide hardware. The stainless stuff is easy to find, but I'm not having any luck finding the black oxide stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote
