cnote Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Just got my hanger and really didn't have time to look it over very well. One thing i definitely noticed was the screws for the belt attachment bracket seem too short for my DAA outer belt. I remember getting some other attachments for mag pouches on this thing was a bitch, as it is way thicker than the CR speed or others. Anyone else had this problem? Its threaded and to screw them up would be stupid. Off to the hardware store i go tomorrow for longer screws...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MstngLX50 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have two BOSS hangers. I used the screws they came with and both are on DAA belts without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishsticks Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Swing by any hardware store and buy a couple of the same size/thread. Use them on a diagonal to squeeze the belt some. Then use the stock screws. When tight anything longer than stock will protrude and catch on stuff. That's what I did, worked fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afoulk Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I had a similar thing happen with my DAA pro belt and boss hanger. I thought of fishsticks solution right after I got the stock screws to work by using a clamp or two for a temporary hold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, This was my plan after reading posts 2 and 3, and thanks to fishsticks for the tip on longer screws protruding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzt Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 +1 on fishsticks, except I used four longer screws tightened down as far as they would go, then substituted the standard screws one by one. I didn't want to take a chance on stripping any of the threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtecpaoche Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Does everyone use the hanger that comes with it? Does anyone opt for tek lok attachment instead? I'm looking for pros for the stock belt attachment as I'm interested in trying it on one of my existing bladetech holster. I have spare tek lok adapters. Can I just attach them without buying the hanger with the tek lok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wav3rhythm Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Once you use the hanger that comes with the BOSS, you won't want to go back to the teklok. It's absolutely sturdy and will not move at all. My hanger went on fine with the DAA belt. I just tightened diagonally a little bit at a time.

cnote Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 I got mine on there, like I said when I started, half ass look and attempt late in the evening, not wanting to strip the thing, I just looked here for opinions And they worked perfectly ?

turbopower18 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I started the bottom 2 screws then clamped on vise grips to close the gap in the bracket to get the screws started on my CR Speed HiTorque belt. Only way i could get it done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoadMakeReady Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 When I received mine I had the same situation with the short screws . I used the small C clamp method and put just enough pressure to get the screws started a few threads then it was good to go . My only complaint is one of the side to side adjustment slots had a huge burr in it so had to get the dremel out . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhollis51 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 mine was VERY tight but it worked. It took me and a buddy to get the screws started but it went on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
