Members George B Posted April 19, 2011 Members Report Posted April 19, 2011 Howdy all, here goes... Ordered a Montana Silversmiths 3 piece silver buckle set for a friend who wanted a nice dress belt. Everything is done but when I went to assemble the belt the tongue on the buckle wants to stick almost straight up and past the buckle over a 1/4 inch. At first I thought it was something I was doing wrong, but, after looking at everything it looks correct. What the heck do I do to get it to lay correctly and flat against the buckle? The last one I got from Tandy went on without a hitch, but the tongue came straight out from the tongue post that was even with the buckle. This one, the metal the tongue attatches to is 1/2 inch below the actual buckle. As always, any help will be greatly appreciated. George Quote

Members WyomingSlick Posted April 21, 2011 Members Report Posted April 21, 2011 Did you punch just round holes in the belt? Oval holes work better. Also make sure they are big enough. Quote (John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV) And the truth is that religion is nothing more than the lame attempt by largely ignorant people to bring sense and order to a world that was beyond their comprehension. Once you see religion for the delusional and superstitious artifact it is............... you will be free !
