Members cst Posted May 14, 2014 Members Report Posted May 14, 2014 Is it meant to be crimped in place on the exterior of the wallet? Quote
Members Hi Im Joe Posted May 14, 2014 Members Report Posted May 14, 2014 http://www.mitchell-leather.com/Other_Products.php It looks the same as this one. So yeah probably placed on the outside but not sure if you crimp it or just use pressure. Quote
Members cst Posted May 14, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 14, 2014 I was thinking about crimping it. I bought two, I guess I'll mash the first one down and if it doesn't work, try something else. Thanks Quote

Tree Reaper Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Put it in a vise with leather jaws and clamp it tight to the two sides of leather. Sometimes skiving is required. If you use pliers it will have little dents all the way down. Quote
Members cst Posted May 14, 2014 Author Members Report Posted May 14, 2014 Thanks. I crimped it down with some old sheet metal break pliers (wide smooth jaws) but wasn't happy with the results. I will do the next with my vise. Quote
Members casaerwin Posted September 18, 2015 Members Report Posted September 18, 2015 No problem man. I wish those came in nickel. They do come in nickel (plated). I just bought 5 nickel and 5 gold and I too am having trouble figuring out how to install them. Quote
