Anyone know where I can get metal shoulder strap hardware?

[THUNDERCHIEF]

So, I recently got some gear bags. They are pretty rugged and well made....except the shoulder strap hardware is plastic . What is up with that? Needless to say, it wasn't too long before one of the plastic hooks on the shoulder strap broke under a heavy load of multiple guns and ammo on the way to the range. The strap itself is made of good material and the color matches the bag so I am trying to get metal hardware for it instead of a full strap replacement; but a new strap complete with metal hardware is not out of the question either. So, suggestions please .

Thanks,
/John

For the hardware, I'd try a tack shop, or someplace similar that deals with stuff for horses. Farm supply place is another possibility.

GI gear bag straps @ Army Barracks, in Salem, are $2.99 w/ metal hardware.

I haven't used them but I had some idea of how to search for it, it's a sewing thing.
