Does anyone know where to buy buckles to have webbing cross other webbing at 90 degrees (commonly used in sternum chest harness straps on backpacks) from a UK seller?
I only want a few for a bikepacking luggage project. I can't find any UK sellers (plenty of sellers in China if you want to purchase in bulk). It might help if I knew what they're called, of course!
any ideas? I've spent far too long scanning eBay etc for something that will only cost a few pence!
Cheers!
Can you find anything like what you want on here?

this sort of thing would do:
or this type would be better
thanks jimdubleyou and tjagain I've emailed those sellers to ask (nothing listed on their website but they might be able to help)
Another link - again dunno if these guys have them

Does it just need to keep things tidy?
Get a stainless or plastic ring slightly bigger than the webbing, pass one strap under it and pull a small loop through, and pass the other strap through it.
Sternum split bar. Extremtextile.de are usually best for this kind of stuff but are currently out of stock:
