Sign in to disble this ad
well, technically it's not broken, but i need to modify it.
here is one of my current belt buckles from the side. 
the spoke there goes through the belt and the rounded piece of metal at the top keeps the belt from coming undone.
here is a belt buckle i just bought. 
this spoke doesn't have the rounded piece at the top so the belt keeps coming undone.
what would be the easiest/cheapest way of solving my problem?

I was thinking a blowtorch myself, a little more precise. I dont know, I improvise in these kinds of situations.

Why not a bench vise and Channel Locks? No vise? Use the floor and your body weight.

I honestly can say this was my 1st ever post regarding a belt buckle. |

shouldn't even justify this answer with a response, but obviously i could buy another buckle. i want to use this one. i thought that was clear given what i said in the first post. | a lot of those are made from a metal that will fail at that point.....many of my old favorites did just that......i double side taped my favorite nra buckle to one of my cabs where it lives happily
