Where do you guys go to source parts for packs, namely hip belt buckles (think I stepped on and cracked one) as one of mine is missing one?

It's a 45mm buckle, I already have the female half still. Something in Sydney and/or online preferred

? Look on ebay "Side Release Buckle "

They look like they go on the size of the webbing...

Thanks, I'll try the quick and cheap ebay option first and see how that goes.

That sounds good to me, local and more than likely good quality.

The non-chain camping stores might have them. Or maybe BCF?
