    Take to you local engineer and get him to open either the jaws ( grind the teeth back a mll) or drill your bottom plate lug holes out to a ml ie 4 rather than 3mll I think it would snap shut like a trap ... Or if he could build a bottom plate and use the flapper from the original.

    Hope it all makes sense

    That or yes get a belt style buckle ...what concerns me is I've seen the belt buckle tear through the drilled holes hence them using domes now.
    That said you may be ok with the neoprene rubber I think it's thicker / tougher than what they are selling localy as a free diving belt without domes its a very soft almost inner tube like rubber ( heaps thicker but same soft consistency)
    What worries me most is anyone looseing $80 of lead weight .
