I used to work for them, I was head of small package shipping, then transferred to head of solvent free production.
(they also make shoe-goo, seal all, and nail hole filler among MANY other things)
Oh FYI, Seal all, will patch holes in metal gas tanks and withstand the gasoline after it sets.

BTW, another good place for leather supplies is e leather supply: http://eleathersupply.com/

Picked up some concho screws for the mudflaps from Tandy.... Thanks for the suggestion.... When completed I will send some pics around. Still a little nervous about drilling into my fenders.... They look like new.... Is it measure 20 times and drill once? Lol

- January 09, 2013, 19:29:05 PMThanks for the suggestion Bake. There is a store located close to me and I will check this option out. The concho seems more attractive than the homedepot bolts I was considering.....
Cheers

- January 09, 2013, 19:15:03 PMNTL, Check out "Tandy Leather" they have some great Concho backs that are threaded and come with a screw, They'll attach to the inside of the fender giving the leather more surface support, Then you only need a small stainless washer along with the screw for the outside of the fender. Here's a link to a concho with screw post. http://www.tandyleatherfactory.com/en-usd/home/department/hardware/7400-241.aspx
They also have some really nice conchos here's a few pics of the ones I put on my fenders, "Stone Mountain Half Dollars" (cause I know the guys love to look at the pics... Chilli, RatMan, Troll, Marshall, DC, Drift1, Reo, Bravo, Chief... ) lol

- January 09, 2013, 18:45:44 PMHi everyone
Just received a matching set of mudflaps from Osprey.... They match my seat and bags. They are neat thick leather ones but they don't have any holes pre arranged for installation. Any thoughts on install? I was thinking of making a template of cardboard / paper prior to drilling. What's it like to drill in the fender? Thinking of using small stainless steel acorn bolts with washers on front and back...... Not sure of the size of bolt.
Thanks for any help
