Quote:How are the belt plates constructed that have the hinges for the frogs and belt buckle? The ones with the rod and balls on the end...is the hinge still integrated into the belt plate, but minus the rod and balls on the hinge side?
Also, do the tubes for the rod and balls completely wrap around, or are they semi-circular?
I am going to make a new belt and was wondering about those two things.
Yeah, photos of original plates, especially macro shots of the back side and where they (the barbell things) attach would be really helpful.
