Nylon webbing

pburchett · Jan 20, 2014

I need to attach a hook to a section of nylon webbing. Sounds simple enough except the webbing is too thick to sew. Some sort of military webbing that is extra thick and stiff. I had to take pliers to fold the webbing in half to get it feed into the eye of the hook. How do I now attach the webbing to itself.... Brads, metal plate and brads.... Any suggestions?

Pop rivets. I've done it many times and works well.

Your webbing cant possibly be thicker and harder to sew than leather so I would use an awl. http://www.speedystitcher.com/ssinstructions.html About $5 at Harbor Freight, worth every penny when you need something heavy duty sewed.

I've used harness rivets and an awl that is threaded.

Take it to local upholstery shop. Or shoe shop if you have one.

Bolts with fender washers and locknuts?

With a pair of vice grips, hold a nail. Heat said nail with a torch and melt a hole in webbing. and then use harness rivets or bolts to hold it all together.

I was going to say just use a western saddle knot, but if you had problems getting through the loop once you would probably not be able to get it through twice as needed. That is what I use. Necktie knot, same principle.

Can you just pull the webbing through the hole around the hook and back up to the hole then pull out the slack?
See the larkshead on the page in the link.

Sounds like you have the belting from an aircraft arresting barrier. Fold thru your hook, it can be dilled, or the hot bolt idea, then bolt it with backer plates on both sides.
