Two of the button snaps on my WWE replica belt have been damaged. Has anyone got any experience in replacing them? If so, how do you remove them and how do you out replacements in? If anyone could suggest where I would get replacements, that would be great! I was just going to buy the extendable strap and make use of the button clips on that.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

By "clips" do you mean the button snaps?

Back in the day Wrestlingworld used to stock spare belt parts but I'm not sure if anywhere else supplies them.

snaps can usually be bought at most craft stores. whether or not they're an exact match is a different story though

I know it's probably not money you want to spend, but it may be a good excuse to get your belt releathered? You might be able to pick up a new strap cheaply as well. There are Facebook groups and forums that specialize in replicas so they may be of more specific help. Belttalk is a forum.

I lost a lot of gemstones taking the belt from Florida to NYC for RIngsidefest.
I saw that a wrestling superstore found online sold replacement gems and the button snaps. So I got them there Not sure if I can mention the name of this wrestling superstore.

I think I have found some on Amazon that I might try. I just need to work out how to safely remove the broken ones without wrecking the simulated leather |

If you want a releather, use Mrs B. She’s awesome, produces great work and has good turnaround times. She may even have some spare snaps to help you out. Lukkyhandz makes amazing leather, but his queue time is long.
I’ve had a few belts releathered, it’s the best, quickest improvement you can make to replica. Difference is night and day.
