I have ordered a set of Abbey England Saddlers Clam and wanted to get some feedback about customizing. I would like to add leather to the ends of the clams. What is the best way to do it.
1. What type & weight leather?
2. Is is OK to dye the leather or leave natural?
3. How much of the clam should I cover?
4. Anything else that I have missed?
Thanks and hope you all are doing well.
So I received my clams and I am little concerned with the fit and finish. There is about a 8 to 9 mm difference between the two arms. I have tried adding and removing tension using the top bolt with no improvement. Both arms have the letter “R” printed on the bottom. I have taken them apart and the top two holes don’t match up exactly perfect. I am thinking that is where the problem is coming from. I just sent a message to Abbey but it is currently 01:00 Tuesday morming in England so I hope to have reply from them in the morning.
