    C2 seat belt buckles

    At a recent regional NCRS meet, I was told that the buckles on my white seat belts in my '64 convertible are "too white". They are whiter than the belt material (which was judged to be the correct fabric/color for my white vinyl seats....), but I'm not sure what shade of white is correct? Does anyone have a correct set that they could photograph and forward?

    Also, how difficult is it to separate the buckles from the fabric material and paint them..... anyone with experience in this area?

    Thanks....

    "Also, how difficult is it to separate the buckles from the fabric material and paint them....."

    You don't need to separate the buckles from the fabric, only the buckle's latch handle-the base frame is chrome plated.

    Study the latch handle and you'll see it rotates around an axle. One end of the axle is a hex-head recessed into a matching countersink in the buckle's base. The opposite end is anchored with an E-clip. From there you ought to get the picture on how to proceed in removing the latch handle leaving the buckle base on the belt fabric!
