Guys, anybody know where I can get parts to upgrade my belt?

Mainly just looking for the studs they use on them to secure the smaller belt to the larger one:

and a Cade/ Kol skywalker style buckle, as i'm using a standard buckle from my old costumebase belt. One like this:

Any ideas?

I have bought the studs from here:

I got this link from J-Lo last year.
Click on "miscellaneous" at the left menu, then scroll down till you see "screw in stud"...that's what you want. I don't know if they'll have a buckle like you're looking for, but it might be worth a shot to see what they have!

Belt buckle looks like the one Han Solo had on his belt....if so try E-bay seller costumebay as he sells replica solo belts. he might sell you a buckle cheap.

Cheers guys, Jay, that was the place I was thinking of, cheers.

I'd prefer not to go the costumebase route if I can. i'll have to check out the quality of the solo belt.

Cheers guys!

Just a word advice: stay away from Starfortress....as far as you can.

You guys have all the nice things! LOL!!!

Seriously, you try showing a pic of those studs in a fabric store over here & they look at you as if you've just spontaneously grown flowers out the top of your head!
