Charlie, I have as new old stock, about 3 rubber straps with the part numbers.
They are for the pick handle. They are rubber with a canvas layer in the middle.
They bolt onto the channel shaped bracket, but if you try and thread them through the hole in the bracket, it is almost impossible to do.(with the handle in it) The same parts are used to locate the shovel.
Who ever designed and approved that set up, was working for the enemy.
This time, I couldn't blame the grunts (inf)
