    Does anyone have a good source of rubber Tie down straps with hooks for the tanks on the ML frame bikes?

    My 78 390 has a few perished rubber parts and this is one that I havent located a suitable replacement for yet.

    The rubber length is 200mm - 8 inches eye to eye. Overall length is 250 mm - 10 inch between hooks.

    Doesn’t need to be a replica or NOS.

    Wouldn’t you know it. Just found these on eBay locally. They should do fine.

    Great that someone is reproducing them. They look great and I dare say need to sell for heaps to break even. Phil provides a great service to us Husky tragics.

    The eBay cheapie is not really suitable unfortunately. Too big and even with the hooks removed still too long

    I also note that John Lefevre at Vintage Husky carries the correct hold down strap.

    I just use a slice of old inner tube. Wrap around the frame and hook onto the tank ..... simples .... and cheap :-)
