Members Matt Alsaker Posted October 4, 2012 Members Report Posted October 4, 2012 I'm attempting to make my first combination magazine / handcuff pouch. Along the magazine side, I'd like to install an adjustable tension screw with a rubber hose / spacer. I've attached a picture of what I'm trying to accomplish. The part I can't figure out, what to use for the rubber spacer? I've checked several hardware stores and just got back from an automotive store. The automotive store had the closest stuff, but the hose is very stiff making it not work very well as an adjustable spacer. Any suggestions?

Contributing Member rdb Posted October 4, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted October 4, 2012 It's just gas line. Available from Lowe's and Home Depot, to Napa, and Advanced auto. The stuff you bought might be something else, or for a different use. Quote Web page Facebook
Members camano ridge Posted October 5, 2012 Members Report Posted October 5, 2012 Old Faithful Holsters sells it for $1.95 per foot. However like Cranky Yankee said it is just fuel line and you should find it at any auto parts store. What youu have might be vacuum line.

Members Matt Alsaker Posted October 5, 2012 Author Members Report Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks guys. I'll stop back at the automotive place and get some fuel line. Camano Ridge you're correct, I picked up vacuum line. Thanks again. Quote http://www.alsakercustomleather.com/ https://www.facebook.com/AlsakerCustomLeather?ref=hl
Members cleanview Posted October 5, 2012 Members Report Posted October 5, 2012 where do you get adjustable tension screws at? Quote Amarillo Texas bambamholsters.com
Members camano ridge Posted October 5, 2012 Members Report Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) The picture below shows what you need for a tension set up basically a Tee nut, a cupped or countsunk washer, screw and rubber washer (slice of rubber hose). You can find most everything at home depot or lowes etc. If you don't need black. You can get most everything from Knifekits.com or Old Faithful Holsters in black.

Members camano ridge Posted October 5, 2012 Members Report Posted October 5, 2012 Sorry the first picture was a bunch of white screws in a snow storm, I attached a new one that shows up better Quote https://www.facebook.com/CamanoRidgeCustomLeather?fref=ts
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 5, 2012 Members Report Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Look in the plumbing section for faucet washers, or in the electrical/automotive section for rubber grommets. Or, just use a hole punch, and make you own out of sheet rubber. Lots of ways to do this besides cutting hose. Edited October 5, 2012 by BIGGUNDOCTOR Quote You laugh at me because I am different.
