Need help identifying a seat belt buckle and need help locating a male end for it

Helping a friend who is having trouble finding the male end for this belt, also would like to know what year it came from? 64 Riv?

Thanks in advance, Chris

Unique to '64. I've got some of these. They look just alike from the outside but the male ends are not interchangeable. I'm trying to determine how to tell them apart physically but so far no luck. I can send you pictures of what the male ends look like. You'd swear that they should interchange but they don't. I've yet to find another male end that will work.

Thanks Ed. please post a picture here. I have alerted him to this thread so he will be checking it.

Okay, fasten your seat belts, no pun intended.

Here's what I have; hopefully you can find the correct male end for what you have.

There are two different seat belts. For ID purposes, one is blue the other is tan.

Buckles:

Female end

*they look similar

*one has the logo on the lift, the other has the logo on the stationary part.

*one has the belt coming out of the end, the other out of the back.

Male end

* nothing similar

Tan: Belt - tag "Brownline Auto Seat Belts" no date or product number (could be worn/faded off) Buckle - engraved "Eberhart 500"

Blue: Belt - tag "Hamill Mfg. Co. Inc., Washington, MI, Model RFC 50.0 1964. Buckle - engraved "HAMILL RCF - 50"

Hopefully you can identify which buckle you have and find the compatible male end. (See pictures for differences) As I said earlier, they are not interchangeable.)

Thanks Ed!

Thanks Ed - this was a big help. Now I know what I am looking for. My guess is it is going to take me a while to find the female ends.

Chris - really appreciate your assistance here.

There was a seat belt campaign/recall in `64. The belt pictured is a replacement supplied (or should have been supplied to the customer by the dealer) to substitute for the original.

Which one is the replacement? The Hamill or the Brownline?

Ed

My understanding is that it was the Brownline.
