For some time now quite a few have expressed interest in finding the old triangle type Cinch Buckles like Warbonnet used to use.

Is this possibly an item that one of our machinist members could manufacture for a group buy?
FWIW, Warbonnet didn't manufacture them, so the supplier is still out there somewhere.
OnRope1 sells the same thing in 1 3/4" width. If they wouldn't stock the 1" version, they might be able to tell you where you to locate them.
Yea, I thought the same thing and called them. The fellow I talked to asked the owner and the response was that they couldn't get them in a smaller size.Quote:

Problem with this one is using it with an Amsteel link which wants to slide into the corner. It can work if you make a link from a piece of webbing and then attach the Amsteel link to that.Quote:

Well how obvious is that! I might as well go back to bed and start over.Quote:

Glad it helped. Probably easier than manufacturing buckles. :)Quote:

I would wager those are stamped not conventionally "machined". But it could probably be done with a mill and basic tooling however, I doubt it would be as strong. But I'm no expert.
