Does anybody know if there is a vendor that can supply the internals for seat belt buckles? I can clean up my blades but the spring clips on some of the blades are so rusted away they cannot clip onto the blade. I didn't want to buy new belts and buckles only to tear them apart for the spring clip. 72 Supreme with the smaller GM buckle. Tried Python but Covid may have put them out of business. No response via emails to Python and I couldn't find any threads where someone had taken a buckle apart on the site.

 

Parts Place sells kits like this. Inline might have buckle components.

 

Thank you Joe. I'll follow up on these leads

 

No luck with the spring clips Joe but I did find a company called "RetroBelt" and for $20 bucks they will sell a belt and buckle set for my application, I could always just replace the buckle cover with the black textured original and call it a day. Any chance you know which side of the occupant the push button buckle was mounted for the center rear lap belt? (72 Supreme hardtop) I guess I have a 50/50 chance of getting it right. Looked for some pics but didn't want to start a thread for just that.

 

The CENTER/MIDDLE occupant's push button buckle is mounted on the Passenger side (R) side of the middle occupant. There will be TWO push button buckles @that mounting point under the seat belt bolt.
