Price 50 euros + shipping ( England 20 eur , Canada 38 eur....)
-
made by a mate.
How do I order one?
-
Looks lovely. What Rodd said
-
Send me a PM with your Email , tell me what color you wish. ( remember the shipping cost: Europe +- 20 eur , USA CANADA +- 38 eur )
I am actualy in a surgery recovery ... so shipping will not be this month. But my mate who makes the strap is working on the first ordered...!
payment with paypal or my bank
-
Am super excited to receive the first two !
They look fabulous
-
I forgot something: you can have your monogramme stamped on it or W113 or.....!
-
W113 Group logo??
-
No , i am not allowed to….!
But your monogramme (initials close to the buckle) or W113 for instance
-
W113 Group logo??
I'd imagine that a die to press into the leather would need to be made, which is work/costly
-
exactly.... that's why i suggest monogram or W 113 or nothing !

I am very interested in one of these. My 280 is Dark Blue with Parchment interior.
Anyone have a guess as to what color was most likely originally back in the trunk?
-
Tiefdunkelgrau? ;D
Seriously I would expect black to match the rubber mat.
-
Work in progress....! made by mate !

The metal part is in 2 parts screwed together so the sewing leather can be very close to the metal

I second Jon’s post !

Very nice work.
Its heartwarming to see an old Singer 29K in use in this day and age.
-
I use this Singer 29k only since a few weeks...! i have not yet solved the adjustments between the upper and lower thread...! I am apprentice now for the next .....20 years with the lathe also before .....another machine adventure.
If you don't are curious and want to learn or do something new .... you are already dead ! ;)

Mine arrived today and it looks fabulous. Thank you so much for making this happen: like so much, if people don't step up, nothing happens...
-
Well James , now you have to work with your camera and give us a photo in situ with some Vuitton suitcases of course....! A Pagoda deserve that at least :)
Btw one week to make 450 miles ...... to GUERNSEY ! i should have sailed there from LA ROCHELLE around Brittany , but the weather is not so good this time!
-
Received mine today and as James states, it looks fantastic. No luggage in the trunk at the moment so just used the strap to hold down a few items to see how it looked. Fit is excellent.
-
Also received mine today.
Very happy

-
Mine arrived today, very pretty. Still smells like something special and new. I didn’t have a chance to take pics or fit, but very impressed it’s Yves and the craftsmanship. I will take pics once I fit (hoping my factory hardware still is “normal”)
THANK YOU YVES!!!!
-
Y're welcome Tx, but congrats must be to my mate who did the job....! i made the first one and he did the others , he has the old but fantastic machines for metal, leather, and ever what you need .... plus he shows and explain the skill ;)

Thanks for the response, Yves. As my interior is parchment, either black or brown would be my preference. I will be on the lookout for news of another batch.
James

Good news, the second batch is scheduled..... ;)
-
Yves, can I get on the list for a black strap? They look great! Nice work!
I sent you a pm, please let me know what I need to do.
Thanks, Bob

Precisions about the colors: tan VS brown
Some members ask about "light brown", "cognac", etc....
i can make the 2 brown colors showed on the photo below, + of course black and blue !
1 is tan
2 is dark brown
-
Yves, I picked up my strap yesterday. C’est magnifique! A very professional job. I am very pleased with it.
Thank you.

Got mine this week. Look great.
Very appreciative
-
Thank’s David for posting, it looks great 👍
-
Got the strap this week. Very nice, but I had to modify it to fit. The full width of the leather came right up to the mounting post. I needed to cut it back to fit into my receivers in the car. Not sure if my car, 1967 250 SL early, is different than other pagodas but there was no way it was going in with the indents. I had some black dye to color the cut edges.

Hello Yves,
Got mine last week. Look great, beautiful work.
Very appreciative
Paul :)
-
John, when I received mine, I thought I would have to do the same, but managed to clip them in with a bit of jiggling around
Regards
Andrew
-
I am sorry about those problems….!
May be the bracket is slightly different?
The dimensions have been calculated as the strap can’t leave it’s location when untighted…!
-
You can see in my picture of the receiver for the strap above the indentations that the strap needs to clear to clip into the receiver. That's why I needed to trim away a bit. As Andrew pointed out, I probably could have fought with it, but I don't think that's what MB had in mind. The receiver is spring metal, so the strap mounting "barbell" clips in place once the leather clears the opening. It remains in place even if the two pieces are laying unattached. Again, by design, if it fell out that would be frustrating trying to strap in your luggage. However, the straps should be easily installed and uninstalled as desired by the user, and mine are now. All that said, the straps are VERY nicely made and fill a want of Pagoda owners. Unscrewing and sliding out the barbell makes the modification easy.
-
Hi THELEWS, i got it with your photo.... ;) if a third batch is wanted ( who knows....!) the leather cut will be more thin in that location. The first batch was more thin i think...!
-
My first batch strap fit fine. 👍
-
BTW Rodd have you the seat plugs? they were shipped with some straps to James Eddie.
-
Yves,
I am mailing them to him today!
Eddie
-
So Eddie i am happy to know you have the « big » package at home 👍🙏🏼
Now it’s you to dispatch….! ;)
-

On their way. Did I make payment? I'm losing track as I'm buying several things for the Pagoda, and for my C43, as well as some tools. Ugh!

Mine arrived late last week.
Having seen the posts about tight clearances between the strap edges and the barbell clip I checked, and they were a little tight. However, I also noted that the barbell clip wobbled around within the leather loop, so I just held the barbell clip in one hand and pulled the leather strap with the other and the clearance opened up nicely as the loop elongated slightly. I was then able the install the straps easily by sliding one end of the barbell clip into the receiver through the gap between the two ends of the receiver, then snapping the other end of the barbell into the other side of the receiver.
I suspect that a little gentle tension on the straps will cause the leather loop around the barbell clip to "take a set" over time, so left it installed and filled up my trunk underneath the strap with some cushions and my rolled-up car cover. I'll leave it this way for a couple of weeks and then check to see if the slight elongation of the loop becomes permanent. (It probably will. . .)

Hi Guys, during these espensive shipping days..... i can't ship any strap or seat plug at a correct price...!to USA.
anyway i can take orders for better rules. Who knows?
-
Breaking news ;D....! Private shipping is allowed until 100 USD . So The bar is open. I can take new orders for the straps , but will do a third batch only with enough order.
-
Do be careful with the paperwork when shipping. The exemption is for "Gifts" with a value under $100. So, you may have to declare the straps being sent as "Gifts."
