    Looking for U.S. source for tuck clasps and point snap for early 911 toolkit cover

    Good evening,

    I came across an early 911 ('65-'66) toolkit cover, unfortunately, the tuck clasps and point snap (pictured) are rusted beyond redeemtion. I would like to find suitable replacement clasps (with horizontal ridge on top of the clasps) and point snaps inside the cover. All I was able to locate were clasps without the horizontal ridge and I don't know what size snaps to get. Could you please share with me where you get your factory clasps and snaps to restore an early toolkit cover? Thank you in advance for all your help.

    Try Tandy Leather, Joann FAbrics, and Leatherworkers outlet.

    Air goes in and out, blood goes round and round, any variation of this is a bad thing.

    This looks similar, but not exact.

    Thanks docrodg and Peter. I just realized the horizontal bar is actually a stabler :-). I'll get the actual measurements of the original tonight and hopefully it'll be close to Buckleguy's clasp. Andy

    Buy a donor...the clasps are the same up to the mid 1973 changeover.
