    Going on memory here but Greg will be able to confirm or deny..... :Chin:
    yeh thats about right and to throw another into the game...there was 2 types of silver metal buckles..1 was a flat buckle and 1 was a wedged buckle...these i believe were plant specific...the wedged buckle as pictured was for brisbane built cars i believe and the flats were all others...or was it brisbane and adelaide that got wedged and all others were flat...or is all im waffling with only torana related?

    ok..things like this bug me when i cant remember but should so i went for a walk in the paddock and found a sydney built hq which had wedged buckles..so its the flat buckle for brisbane.

    quite happy to have someone put there 2 bobs worth in if im still mixed up..

    now i remember..lj torana had flat buckles in the front and wedged in the rear if it was brisbane built and somethin else if it was adelaide..
