sporran help

[Kilted KT]

kT,
it's similar but not quite what's wrong with my father's sporran. In my case the cantle has threaded posts that stick through the leather and then each post has a cap nut tightened onto it. I can actually unscrew the nuts from the other posts.....I wish I had a digital cam to show you.
I'm going to have to measure them I think to find the correct size. I'll try looking online...if no luck, I may have to take you up on your offer Southern Breeze.

well, if you have no luck finding a proper nut, there is one other solution.

while not preferred, you can position the cantle as it is supposed to fit, and put a bunch of crazy glue in the hole around the screw. It will bond both to the leather and the metal almost instantly, and you will have a devil of a time getting them apart.

You might also want to try a jeweller. They will have lots of tiny screws that go in watches, and might have one that fits.

If you have trouble measuring it take it to a jeweler or machinist. They've got the tools to measure it correctly. They may have a replacement or know were to get one. Keep us informed of your progress and good luck.
