I need help threading my buckle, and I have already searched

[Furner]

I have the buckle correctly threaded to the BP i think, i have the webbing so the end comes out at the bottom in the inside slot, and then running back through the first slot. What I really cant figure out for some reason is how to get the other end to securely buckle into the piece. If someone has a diagram or picture they can show me, I would really appreciate it. I feel really dumb for asking this because I know its simple, it just eludes me.

ive used that site as a guide already, and i just think im doing something wrong, since the loose end just falls out after i close the buckle. Picture is coming.

from the bottom

in the first -- out the middle -- trim to the edge of the buckle -- that is ALL that is needed ---

the loose ends needs to go over the metal piece that you have it run under now. it needs to feed straight into the buckle and not up from the bottom.

I can't be sure, but it appears you are putting the "non-buckle" end of the webbing in through the wrong place on the buckle. ... it should go into the buckle directly under/against the cam.
That picture almost makes it appear as if the buckle is broken .... It seems like there's no way it could tighten down... but I might just be missing something.

the picture that I was using is http://www.gasdiving.co.uk/images/kit/Harness/top_complete.jpg
maybe they are using a different buckle, but in that picture the webbing runs into that curved piece on the bottom.
i have threaded it the above mentioned way, and it works, but i just didnt know if there was some fatal error that i would commit by doing it that way.

The picture is wrong! Stick it where the buckle will engage the webbing when it is closed. And don't believe everything you read.
