Golly, I can't word the situation properly

Is it a genuine old style strap that has a buckle? If so, try a red-hot needle judiciously wiggled through. For plastic straps. a bit (OK, a lot) less than red heat will do, but it should be pretty red for leather.

Alternatively, you could do it yourself!

Needle doesn't seem to do the trick - too hard to penetrate through :(

806001 2009-09-01 09:22:00 I agree with Misty. Get a nail and hammer it through, a piece of old wood underneath is advisable. Bryan (147)
