Members larry1096 Posted June 29, 2015 Members Report Posted June 29, 2015 Hi, I've noticed most holster makers mount their snaps with screws, presumably with tee nuts beneath or behind them. It seems a good idea, as it allows for snap replacement where the backing is covered, and would otherwise be inaccessible. Anyone know where to buy the components for those, and perhaps some measurements? I'm having trouble with a source and sizing. Thanks, Larry Quote

Members camano ridge Posted June 30, 2015 Members Report Posted June 30, 2015 (edited) Tee nuts can be bought a just about any hardware store, if you want black I get mine from Index fasteners http://www.ifithermoplastics.com/products/t-nuts. As to the screws you can actually get those from Tandy., as well as Index fasteners and other places. Tandy calls them concho adapters https://www.tandyleather.com/en-usd/search/searchresults/11383-00.aspx Edited June 30, 2015 by camano ridge Quote
Members chiefjason Posted July 2, 2015 Members Report Posted July 2, 2015 6/32 T nut and 6/32 flat head machine screw, IIRC 5/16" long. The 6/32 flat head machine screw fits down into the snap so it does not interfere. Link just for a pic reference for the head style. https://www.fastenal.com/products/details/1172621 Quote
