Members Aurelie Posted November 12, 2011 Members Report Posted November 12, 2011 Hello guys, i am "brainstorming" about some "little" things that bother me on my on-going saddle Maybe you can help: see that picture for illustration (took on another thread around here ) my question : How does the conchos is screwed to the "big screw" that runs between the stirrup? I mean : is there a specific trick to do so? Here, in France, i ve got big screws (roughly 5/16") and i ve never seen conchos that can be screwed on this size of screw Any advices and ideas would be welcomed Aurelie Quote
Members kseidel Posted November 12, 2011 Members Report Posted November 12, 2011 The concho is soldered onto a 5/16" carriage bolt. The complete unit is called a stirrup bolt. Quote
Members Aurelie Posted November 13, 2011 Author Members Report Posted November 13, 2011 ok so i guess that i have to solder it to the bolt by myself here is a good job for greg! thx for the reply Keith! Quote

Actually, you can buy them that way. Hansens Silver has them. I think most are brazed, rather than merely soldered. Brazing is like welding, but the temperature is less and does not melt the metals being joined. This is better for something like a silver concho. Quote
