Need Help Finding An Item

[morbious26]

Hi,

Does anyone know what the little clip is that's holding the hose or where I can get them?

I've searched and searched and can't find them anywhere. I hope someone knows what they are. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks

That is a shoelace eye ring of some sort. Try looking up shoe findings. Gump.

You might also find it by searching like this...

Thanks for the replies. The Tandy one looks like it but has the rope edging. I tried every which way to search shoelace eyelets but still no luck.

Any other suggestions? I'll keep searching.

Thanks again

Those clips are actually intended for attaching small shoe buckles. The loops fit around the centre bar, either side of the tongue, and the rivet attaches the clip to the shoe upper.

Seen lots of them on shoes, but I've no idea where to source them. Try searching for 'shoe buckle clips' or something similar.

Edit . . . just found it! Ohio Travel Bag Catalog, page 200. Comes with buckle!

Thanks again
