Reparatur von Ledersätteln: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

The undercarriage could use some cleaning up but it is sound.

You need only replace the rivets at the rear of the saddle. The metal shoe inside the nose of the saddle comes off with the top, once you have removed the rivets at the rear. Copper rivets suitable for saddle repair are available at hobby shops, online and from the saddle repairers listed in this article. After flattening large rivets at the inside, you may want to pound their edges down at the outside. An anvil may help. Keep reading for detailed isntructions.

Preferably, when cannibalizing saddles, use an undercarriage with matching locations of rivet holes. If the sheet-metal piece at the rear of both saddles is of approximately the same shape and width, you could drill new rivet holes -- in the metal, not the leather. The two saddles shown in the next picture are not compatible, because the width is too different.
