Daniel,
Faced the same thing with my BN7. The car came with the buckle attached to
about 6 inches of badly deteriorated leather. Bought a child's belt of the
proper width and style at a dept store. Removed the new buckle (it merely
unsnaped) and put on the orig buckle. Then installed two rivets I got from a
shoe repair shop, cut the leather to the needed length and punched the
necessary holes. Painted the rivet heads black and voila! Total cost less
than $5.
