Hornbag73 Report post Posted March 18, 2013 Hi All Just a quick question on a buckle i bought by accident, how do i use a strap buckle with a locking tongue. Instead of sending them back i thought i would learn how to use them. Secondly my son is a guns and roses fan and wants me to make his a Slash top hat but am having trouble finding the conchos,can any one help?\ Thanks Nigel Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TwinOaks Report post Posted March 19, 2013 Yep, tht's the one! You use it like any other buckle, but need to cut oval holes in the belt instead of round. Once the strap is pulled through and buckled, a small padlock is placed through the hole in the tongue. This keeps the strap from being un buckled by whoever is being restrained.
