Actually mine were completely rusted out also. Not happy with the looks of the buckles either. Since I am doing a complete restoration I'mm trying to get as much new as possible. Quite expensive but shoud be worth it. Thanks for the offer and the reply.

US belt makes a bolt in replacement... Andover restraints make all kinds of kits for converting from non-retracting to retracting, and for replacing bad original equipment... Wesco makes kits as well (I've bought their extenders for mine, I'm 6'5 and 280 lbs)...

They might not be "original", but they will be legal and look decent until you can find the ones you want.
