I've seen it on straps on some, just a few, cars in my vintage car club. Its like a buckle but not a buckle. Its like two hinged loops. One short loop is attached to item or end of a strap. The tongue of the strap goes through a gap between the loops and the second loop hinges over gripping the strap between the loops and that loop locks down in place. Endless adjustment without holes in the strap. Rather like how the fitting on a HGV cargo strap works, but nicer looking. But I don't know a name for it cam buckle maybe an older type?

Hopefully he can ID it. Ya, he said it's not part of the magneto, some weird buckle, or just a really bad photo of a regular buckle Quote

I didn't even know the name for that, There used to be a shop in the UK which sold the wire ones. They sold lots of old-style but new stock car parts for refurbishing our old cars. Some modern competition drivers used to use the wire loop ones to hold their bonnet/hood and boot/trunk lid down. Maybe use a modern s/s one. Would look more like the original ?
