Polish the buckles and dye the straps. I dyed mine with black shoe dye and they came out pretty good.

I got a used pair from 2ManyZ's a while back and used RIT dye on the stovetop to dye them back to black. They came out quite well.

Hey thanks guys.

I really do want to get the colour right but I'm not going to go to the trouble of hunting around for actual 30y.o. straps. I will get some new ones made up using an appropriate webbing (Dad has rolls of the stuff from his early working career). I will dye the material, have it cut and stitched to the right lengths and polish the buckles...and I think that will be just about enough time spent on the whole subject!
