Morning all!
Did this to my Cockpit G1 because I felt that the original bakelite buttons were too small...
-Replaced mil-spec bakelite buttons with larger and thicker buffalo horn buttons. The button hole easily accomodates a larger size button
-Button backed with a leather disc for added security and longevity
-Buttons sewn on with button hole yarn which is really thick and strong
Please check the photos:
Real horn button. Larger, thicker (and nicer) than the original button to the right.
The button is backed with a little horsehide leather disc for added strength and protection
The new button easily goes through the button hole. I don't know why all G1 buttons have to be this small...
