Well, looks like I'm not the only one out there who needs one of these
critters. Below is Jean's reply to me via the list on 5/15/11-
Daniel:
I have a BN6 that takes the same type of belt. Do you have the black roller
buckle? If not, they may no longer be available but I can check here as I have
a supplier who carries lots of various buckles. The straps are easy to make and
I have the correct rivets for it too. I make my own for most of the cars I
restore. I can make one for you within a couple of weeks. I will charge you
whatever the material costs and one hour of labour @ $22.00, and will find that
out first and if I can get the black buckle if you do not have one. If not I
can get one powder coated in black.

I spoke with Jean yesterday (5/17/11) and he said he will check with his strap
supplier and get back to me re delivery and payment particulars. You can reach
him at
vintage_roadster_restoration at hotmail.com. I think that one hour of labor
@$22.00 plus material costs (don't know what that figure is yet) is a fair
price to pay because I know it will be correct and I won't have to "reinvent
the wheel" trying to make this myself. I'm not opposed to making things myself
but in this case I'll write the check.
Regards,
Dan
