Battery cup strap help

Hello everyone

I'm missing the bars that slip onto the tops of the battery cups, that hold the pack in place.

I have some white polystyrene sheets thick enough to use as a replacement. Instead of hunting the original parts on eBay, and spend money on a full set of cups with all the other stuff that comes along with them, I want to simply make my own, but I need some help.

Would anyone care to trace out one of theirs, or throw the thing in a scanner, scan it and email the pic to me, so I have a template to work with? I know it's not going to be nylon, but I at least want the parts to look original.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Don't waste your time. Just post in the wanted thread on what you need. I'm sure someone will send you one for free.

I'm new on this forum, so I can't bust into the B/S/T thread.

Thanks for your thoughts though.

strap is overall length:2.4"
width of holes to secure:1.8"
diameter of holes is: 3/16"
'keyhole' narrow diameter is: 1/8"
thickness is:3/32"

most of the dimensions aren't really important. you can use the battery cup screws as a template as well.
