Replacement buckle guards?

[Dovorian]

Any ideas where I can find replacement buckle guards? I'm looking for the longer style oine - like those supplied with an Albion saddle.

Surely any decent saddlery would be able to get you some?

I can get the small semicircular ones easily, but the obvious option was to try getting them from Albion but both saddlers I have tried say I've not got much hope....

My fault I left them on a saddle which had been at the local shop to sell, when I went to check it was still there the guards had gone!

I think I have a couple that are long. If you want I can go and have a look up in the attic and give you measurements. Just let me know.

Deeble - you could be a lifesaver! Please PM if you have any luck!

Going up now - wish me luck.........

Ooooo Deeble - wher are you Deeble? Are you stuck up there?

 

[amzy]

Don't worry, I'm back now, just got a bit side-tracked with things I haven't seen for a few years.

i'd call Albion direct. pretty rubbish customer service if they won't supply something so minor but so essential, i think.
if they give you any rubbish, ask to speak to Sherry about it.
