59 SF Seat Upholstery Buckles

I've recently acquired a 1959 SF which is rough but appears to be mostly complete. I seem to have all of the 'buckles' for the door panel upholstery, but only one for the seats (I believe there are 8 total?). The one I have appears to be simply stamped steel that would be pretty easy to replicate. My question is this: any idea how easy these are to find in decent condition, or would it be easier to just make some out of stainless (using the one I have as a pattern), etc?

jeffrey,
congratulations on acquiring the cvt. You like to fly beneath the radar, huh? }:-)
THe buckles are excedingly hard to find. If you know how, make 'em yourself. I was gonna send an original to Gary Goers to see if he could have them made. Never did that. If I were to lose one, I'd be hard pressed to find another. In fact one has started to come loose on my carseat.
