Just bought a vintage Nikon Vestrap from Ebay. The vest didn't have the connecting buckles that terminated in a camera strap to attach to my DSLR.
Any ideas where I might find these plastic buckles?
Thanks to all in advance!

Checking any store selling fabric and related sewing items. Also, on-line some sporting goods store could also be a resource.

Thanks! These are a for the narrow camera buckles. I'm looking at 1 1/4 inch quick disconnects.

There's got to be someone selling them somewhere.

I went to the Dollar store and bought two cat collars. Used some leather and a pop rivet for attaching one side of the clip to the camera and attached the other half of the clip to the neck/vest strap. $2.00 bucks and done, has not failed in three years.

Check with Optech. They offer a number of different size plastic connect/disconnect selections.
