Gents.
Anyone out there have a set of black rear grab/panic straps in black?
Many thanks
Ric.

I used these guys for my panic straps - excellent reproductions

The spray on dye is very effective if you can’t find any black Ric.

Dealt with those guys and found them pretty good value. I hope the vinyl texture and colour suits.

Just black mate.
I didn’t think about the texture.
The original ones were quite tatty due to a lot of use by the owners mother in law in the 60’s as she was in a wheelchair and she needed lots of assistance to get in, thus the taxi rail in the back as well.

You better hang on to that car so the new bits can age gracefully to match the rest of it. ;7)

I may have to mate.
The caliber of people ringing is quite amazing.
IQ’s are not their thing.
I’ll keep it advertised and see how I go.
I did get some touch up paint made, so that is a bonus.
But I’m still chasing that old rear Venetian blind for the back.
I see your list for the ute is almost complete.
Such a great project,

Gents,
My FC is now sold, and will be living a happy and luxurious life in Victoria.
I wish the new owner all the very best.

Mate,
The young lady who bought the car was wanting to get one.
I’ll ask her.
Dollars, plus shipping to Melbourne?

This is it , it’s all there and not badly dinged up but obviously will need to be paint stripped or citric acid dipped or something and repainted
