Buckle / Pin damage - Advice
Somehow the pin/prong in my buckle on my Gondolo is damaged. It has become bent and is facing the wrong way - I’ve no idea how but there we go...
Does anyone know if it would be possible to just order a replacement pin/prong or will this need a whole new buckle? Which I assume won’t come cheap! Any advice appreciated, this is a first for me!

This happened to me as well. I held the pin over a flame to get it hot and soften the metal then reshaped it. All good.

Wow.... didn’t think of that. I guess nothing to lose at all by giving this a go!

Permanent marker will take care of that. Unless you are moody, then use something more washable... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I am pleased to report that this worked!
Although I did burn my finger at bin ...... better that than £900 for a new buckle/pin! Thanks BT1985.
