I bought luggage straps from Ollie Dare.  He does a very nice job and the end result is very close to the original equipment.

Just got mine from France today!  Thanks for coordinating this project, Yves.  I've never seen an original one.  This one is very nice.

After a first batch of straps already delivered with succes....and happyness for the members who ordered them  ( i think..! ::) i have new orders for a second batch. But it will be better to have a significant number of demands before beginning the process which is quite time consuming .So if you are interested, please post here .

I was looking at the workshop photo, with all the belts hanging. Look to the rear, I see a blue belt. I am really indifferent to specific color.

I'm also in for one set. Dark Brown is the best color for my car. Is this the correct way to place the order??

I have tried to post pictures since Saturday night. Have now wasted about 2 hours trying to do this, but keep on getting error messages. They are jpeg's, and around 3MB each.
