Convertible Top Straps

Post by SteinOnkel »

Hello,

can someone do me a quick favor and measure the two straps that are used to hold down the top? Just in the relaxed position. Trying to build my own from on-hand materials vs. spending $30 per strap.

Thanks
Steiny

With the metal hooks on either end, the overall length is about 12.5". The rubber itself is about 11" of this, and the width of the rubber is a little over 1".
