Ranger Belt Hardware - How To Secure?

[rscow]

I'm working on a ranger belt. I have the parts almost ready to go. I have questions about how to secure the three keepers on the buckle end of the belt.

Is the big keeper that holds the tip end of the belt attached to the belt, or does it float free? How about the small keepers? Do they float up and down on the buckle end? Or are chicago screws or snaps used?

I haven't seen an answer in photos I've looked at.

Newb question, I know...since I already have a bunch of pieces I should know how to put them together!

Do yourself a favor. BUY a ranger belt kit from Tandy. You will see how it is done, you will be able to trace the pieces for another one, and you'll end up with a nice ranger belt.

I fif this years ago when I didn't know how to make one from scratch, and havve made a dozen or so since then.pete
