As you can see the buckle is different from the one Moss sells. Mine shows some wear. My trunk was very rusty. I blasted and painted the buckle, end piece and rivets. Scrubbed the strap and dyed it black. Can't find the metal piece. Knew exactly where it was before we moved to the new house.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Jim D</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div id="composer_signature" dir="auto"><div style="font-size:85%;color:#575757" dir="auto">Sent from my Galaxy</div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div><br></div><div align="left" dir="auto" style="font-size:100%;color:#000000"><div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: James Armstrong via Tigers <tigers@autox.team.net> </div><div>Date: 11/7/21 11:02 AM (GMT-05:00) </div><div>To: tigers@autox.team.net </div><div>Subject: [Tigers] tool kit metal plate on trunk floor </div><div><br></div></div><div>

Over the years, I put together a complete tool roll and have all clips when the trunk is done and in paint. And what is the color of the tool-roll fixing plate when finally installed?</span></div>
