Once the leather belts had been secured with contact adhesive, I noticed that bolts were needed to clamp the two together securely. The workshop staff suggested using a rivet gun to clamp the two materials together. This workes but distorting the metal and puncturing a pin in place. To aid with the placements of the rivets, I firstly drilled holes through the leather before using the rivet gun to clamp the two.
