Sourcing spare parts (buckles) for packs

Information for bushwalkers from bushwalkers

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Sourcing spare parts (buckles) for packs

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

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?
