Inspired by M Kelly's pic - see the Yellow Arrow, an easy fix up with original rivet holes to go by ... and after scrounging through my old junk - a strap, easy, the replacement strap has allowed for some 105 years of sun damage , it being behind the top door flap, not as bad as what the key pouch copped.
The new strap will be wet molded back on itself. |

what a mongrel job trying to rivet in such confined space. After some investigation, trial and error, and wasting and ruining plenty of copper rivets, found that having the buckle end at the top of the mounting bracket gave a better purchase.
The old rivets on the two limbers varied 3/8 and 1/2 inch. |
