belt buckle loosing its chrome

[Mike_Bouse]

two point original belts from the late 60's. the female buckles are loosing their chrome plating. OUCH, is that stuff sharp!

can anything be done to rescue/refurbish these belts?

or should i start looking for replacement belts?

anyone care to offer up for sale a set of these belts?

I'd look for replacements. By now, these belts surely are well past their "sell by" date anyway....

You can buy original era belts from many different suppliers selling parts for the collector car hobby.
I've gone the route of the 3" gooseneck racing belt. They are much sturdier and are also of the era.
