    No not those belts! The ones in me-boot! Going to embark upon the exercise of replacing mine with some leather ones. So many choices of what to put there. I guess I will tool up to make a set, unless someone has a spare set to sell. Starting with some pre-made belt blanks seems to be a great way to get started. I am going to re-use the old hardware but am not sure about the stitching. Seems like the edge stitching just makes them more susceptible to humidity. I can get belt blanks with sealed edges which appeals to me.

    Lol. You got me!

    I know there's a thread last year that discusses an individual overseas that makes a replica of them for cheap.

    I'll take a look and post it here.

    Make sure you replace the tensioners with the Hill Engineering ones!

    Looks like that guy sold the last one yesterday! I should have hit the buy it now and then let him tell me that he wouldn't ship to the US later. DRATS! Well I borrowed his pictures so I should be able to check prices and find some leather place to do it for me or make myself and expose my kids to another skill.
