leather adapters for your casio/gshiok

Another adapters ? pai seh :lol: :lol: :lol: ....bopian got small pieces of leather lying around.

This is how they look like when they r done
Image

Cut out a 'T' shape like the one on the left and fold and glue it so that it looks like the piece on the right. The long length of the 'T' depends on the width of the strap you want your adapter to accommodate, i use 76mm(incl the overlapping length for glueing) so that the adapter can accept 24mm strap; the short length is 16mm, which is the typecal width of gshiok's lugs.
Image

One is done and attached to the lower lug, the top one is yet to be attached; one of the lug screw is shown. orange strap(fr k2, 24mm), brown leather strap (fr k2, 22mm) are for testing.

Now, we can make adapters for any width of the strap we fancy :D
