Default T-Top Tie Down Straps / Source?

Haven't been able to make much progress on my wheel bearings as late for a variety of reasons, so decided to work on my want list.

One of the items is a set of the tie down straps for the T-Tops. I'm not sure how they work but somehow the attach using the pegs on the stock luggage rack. Saw them once on eBay but were way out of my price line at the time. Anyone have a source for a set of these or have an extra set just gathering dust?

Leaving this post on a more positive note - my co-driver suddenly decided we needed to have the car painted. Said she will agree to a medium range job but not the high end over-the-top price range. Guess that is better than nada. Still considering a candy apple red / pearl or back to the original silver possibly using one of the newer model silver paints.

I got repo's for mine for a lot less than what the original were going for on EBay and have been happy with them.

I found a few decent sets at swap meets over the last few years. Ssnake Oyl will re-web them for a reasonable fee if they are the wrong color or the webbing is in bad shape. And it's just plain fun to dig through junk piles at the swap meet to find them!
