Testing the waters to see if anyone would be interested in some repro jump seat straps for their 40? I can make these to any length. Strap thickness matches oem straps at just under 3mm. Way beefier than the aftermarket options available.

Right now I’m selling a set for 30$ to Mud members plus 5$ s/h.
If I started ordering materials in bulk it’d maybe shave off a few bucks, but right now my quantities just don’t call for it.
I would like a set. I can order when I get paid this week.
Mine are original and dry rotted.

Interested. What color is correct for a May of 1980
Nice work! I bought mine from Cruiser Corps, but those look much nicer. Next rig!

These 3 colors are what I have stock of right now. Oh and a darker tan.
The original straps were closest to the ones on the right, a light beige color that always faded to a dirty white from sun bleach over time. I’ve matched the hardware down to brass turn lock eyelets and metal end tips, as per the originals, that are painted an olive drab color. If you have the OEM twist locks, they’re very close to this O.D. Green.

5/‘80 the correct color is the light beige straps you see on the right in my photo. Original straps for that year were 11” eye to eye, however if you have added thicker foam they might require longer straps. DM if you want to move foward with a set. 30$ for Mud members plus 5$ to ship.

Yes I can do that. I have some shiny nickel plate finished hardware I could use, not exactly chrome but no one would know the difference.

I wasn’t sure what length to get for my ‘65, since I have just reupholstered them using the SOR kit and all new foam. My original straps were too short (and rotted out). I ordered the long straps and had to cut them down to get a snug fit with good compression of the foam. I think they look great!
Received the refurbished straps for my LV today and very pleased with them. Thank you!

I finally matched up my old straps to these new ones. Small differences but very close.
