My Leather Belts

FM Former Member
Last year I lost 70lbs. I was going through my John Candy clothes and found a few brown leather belts. Size 52's. I was about to throw them away and thought to myself. They would go great as accent straps on my 356. I am thinking about using them as Spare tire straps.

The belts are clean and the exact same ones, so they look alike. They have that old worn look to them, but are very clean.

Anyone have any thoughts? Am I crazy for thinking it?

Thanks, the weight loss has given me the energy to work on the car. Thats been the best part.

After writing to the forum, I went outside and cut a belt and tried it. It looks good, but the bottom of the buckle was sitting on the Fiberglass and scratching it. So I will make a trip to a leather store, to see if I can find leather to match, and make an under piece for the buckle.

Stay tuned.
