Dark Victory Armory's Superior Belt Tipfor 1.25" or 1.5" wide leather
Description:
Your choice of Solid Brass, Nickel Plated Brass, or Engraved Stainless Steel. All
are very high quality hardware.
Make a purchase from this listing and we'll mount a belt tip to your belt that matches the hardware you've selected. IF you do not order a belt from us, this will convert over to shipping you a tip suitable for mounting onto a 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" wide leather strap.
These tips have a finished outside width that matches their size so that they can pass easily through a buckle. So a tapered
1.5" straps will fit the opening while also having an exterior measurement of 1.5". The measurement in this example is a "nominal" width but the specific dimensions are listed below as hand measured with a caliper.
Installation Instructions: This style of tip is secured to the tip of a belt using two small set screws (slotted). Steps are as follows:
1) Remove both screws and set them aside and CAREFULLY keep track of them
2) Using the tip as a template, mark the screw openings onto the back of the strap then punch two small holes to accept the screws.
3) You'll want to taper the end of the belt so that it can fit inside the tip.
4) Slip the tip over the end of the belt to align the screws with the holes you've made and then re-install and tighten them until they are even with the surface of the tip.

Installation tips:
With thinner material, you may want to add a spacer so that the screws can "anvil" against it to be fully tight when screwed flush or below flush.
Using threadlock or any common adhesive on the threads of the screw will create a very secure bond.
We typically use a 2 inch "English V" strap punch but you can also just use a utility razor to create a blunt V tip to good effect.
Darkening the cut edges of the tip cut can create a nice finished look.
