Hot Rods Punching holes in frame webbing

I purchased frame webbing from a well known hot rod shop.
For the life of me I cant seem to figure a way to put holes in this stuff. It looks like seat belt material. I guess I could just cut it so it just ends before and after any given hole. What have you guys done in the past? This is for my 34 3-w ford.

Thanks Paul

 

Can you lay it down on a board and drill a hole in it

 

sent you a PM

 

You want a hollow punch set. Similar to this one or the ones shown below it.

You should be able to find sets locally or find them on Amazon. They are handy as hell for gasket making as that is what I bought my first small set for about 50 years ago.

 

Piece of copper tubing, hold it with vice grips, heat it with a propane torch and melt the holes into the webbing, Also cauterizes the hole so it doesn't fray.

 

.or you can fold it at the hole centerline and cut a vee into it .. slightly smaller than the bolt size and the bolt will slip past it.. square hole round peg idea...

 

I'd burn it, the copper tubing is a good idea but I've used a soldering iron before.

 

This is the ticket. My dad had a dozen we used from belts, gaskets and mounting mudflaps.
Lay thee material on a block of wood on a solid base, hammer a hole. Found it best to use a short handle 2lb sledge. Not much effort needed.

 

I've made replacement rubber pieces for exhaust hangers a number of times by using a razor knife to cut a piece out of a tire sidewall and my hollow punch to punch the holes in it. That started after I bought one at the parts house and it was made out of a sidewall out of a tire complete with part of a whitewall.

 

I drilled holes in mine. The bolts go right through it. No muss, no fuss.

 

My dad and I used a spent 45 shell with pliers and a propane torch to burn a hole in the webbing.

 

I use a hole punch and piece of wood . I mark the holes with a soap stone .

 

Thanks guys , I did try drilling but just caused a frayed mess with this material. I do have a cheapo hole punch set I use for gaskets, and holes in belts,,,so gave it a shot. Results were not as clean as Id like. Could be they were not sharp enough. So I broke the propane torch. Now the hot tip worked really nice. I was impressed. Then trying to cut off my test piece off the roll using sheet metal snips was not getting a clean cut. The heat worked so well, I heated up a old putty knife and made a very clean cut. Perfect, With the from you guys, I can do the holes and cut this stuff off nice a neat.
Thanks Very Much Guys
