Wheel Straps (RS2000)

[Retro Sport Parts]

Hi All,

Does anybody know if these can be remade from the original brackets? Would think it might be possible and help out with the number of people looking for one and maybe stop pricks from stealing them if they were available.

Hi Errol,

These are so simple, they must be dirt cheap to make! The rubber strap is a reinforced rubber, something like used in the base of a chair I have at home, and the metal bits look like thick welding wire welded together, although on mine for some reason they have used two types of wire, one copper coated, the other like a zinc(silver in colour). A standard design of chromed/nickel rivit is used each end to secure the loop.

Hi Tim,

I have one good one in my car but have a spare brackets for another. If a number of brackets were gattered up and zinc plated for example. Does anybody know where we could get the strap material and get them made up if there was a demand. I for one would like a new one.

Who else would?

Hi All,

Let me see what I can do. I will find out first about the rivets and a similar material for the strap. When that is done I might get you all to send you original brackets which I will get zinc plated. Leave it with me to find out what I can.

Anybody else just add your name to the list so I can get a rough idea of numbers.

When I am at it was thinking of doing up some washer bottle pump. Getting the main body zinc plated and then adding the washer bottle stickers to them. They would be as close to a new one you would get. What do you all think?
