Hi Norm If the strap is too thick, you can tie the lokstrap to the strap end and just use the lokstrap on the button . The only issue is the diameter of the strap button - it needs to be no bigger than 13.3mm. and the inner diam no more than 9.5mm . You can file out the lokstrap by a few mm. for a bigger button .
Quality leather straps need to be custom made by a saddler and are understandably quite expensive. Mine was £45 but you only buy them once ( weight gain permitting ! ) Cheers Neil On Oct 17, 8:46 am, "Andy Carter" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Norm, > > I use these (as supplied by Neil Brook with his > instruments)http://www.amazon.com/Jim-Dunlop-7007SI-Ergo-Strap/dp/B0006ZXFWO/ref=... > .
