Recommended Posts

Where would I find, and what is the correct name for the tension screws used to adjust the tension on a leather holster/mag pouch?  Do they sell them as a set or should I just rig one from long Chicago screws and rubber hose/line?

That seems to be the ticket.  I order my  mold guns from them.I guess I should have figured they would have the screws with all of the kydex they work with.  Thanks for the complement as well ... I am learning!

I use a Chicago screw and tubing. You can find the tubing in bulk at auto shops as A/C hose. Just bring the part in.

Knifekit's.com is very good.  I also found T-Nuts at Springfield Leather.  Better for securing the base.  You have to glue the Knifekit base.
