Front Runner RTT Cover Straps

#1

Post by iandvl »

These are the two straps on the Front Runner Featherlite RTT as per the attached photo - the black straps.

They tend to take a beating and I had them replaced by a seamstress in Brits a year or two ago as the velcro was no longer velcro-y.... ie: it no longer stuck. On second thought, I should just have had the velcro bits replaced as the replacement straps are not on par with the real-deal.

This was about four years and several fairly rough trips ago, but the trips, sun and other elements have now ended up being the end of one, and I guess the other strap will go soon.

I've dug through FR's entire site, and although I can get replacement covers for the tent, these come without the straps...

Are there any other replacement options that are decent or reputable offroad canvas type people that folk now of that can build me a decent, more weather resistant set ? I can provide a sample.

Iain I've got a guy that does all kind of cargo straps for me. If you can send me some photos and measurements I can get a quote for you. Not sure if he's still open now.
