Trunk luggage strap dimensions

[Ronmurr]

Just wondering if anyone knows the width and approximate length of the luggage straps for the trunk. The one that hooks into the two brackets.  looking to have one custom made.  thanks

Someone may have the overall dimensions, but in the meantime you can use the search function, fourth item over from "Home" on the forum page. I used "luggage strap" (without the quote marks) and got a single page of hits. No exact dimensions, but there are some close up photos that show how the strap fits into the brackets in the trunk that should give you some idea.

According to the info from the German site, these are 25mm wide, 2.5mm thick. One is aprrox. 29.5cm and the other one is 78cm long.
Do you have the pins / hardware?

[Ronmurr]

Thanks for the info. No forgot about the pins Attached the strap to the trunk any idea of their approximate dimensions ?

[rwmastel]

Could that be determined by measuring the brackets/anchors?

[Ronmurr]

Yeah, didn’t have any luck on dimensions just some photos.

Ron,
See attached. Again, borrowed from the German forum.
Let me know if you find someone who can make the straps. (PM me) I am interested too. I can make to pins.

Hey guys, I'd be interested in a luggage strap.  I hope this works out.

This is easy enough to reproduce and there are plenty of leather workers who can do this.

If we can get some more accurate measurements, leather color, etc. we can put out RFQs.

I too would be interested in one.

I bought a replacement shoulder strap for laptop bag in natural leather from Gusti leather, it is perfect as luggage strap for our cars.

I had mine made, I will try to find the leather smith who did these straps. This was about 15 years ago I had them made. They are made from original old MB parts stock that the leather smith had in his possession to use as a pattern for these belts. Can’t remember cost, but back then maybe $100. Male end is 78cm long, female end (with buckle) is 30cm, thickness (two layers) 2.5-3mm, and width is 25mm. They are stitched along both sides, with two belt loops. Mine is in black, but he can stain in different colors. The pins are made of stainless steel bar. I will look tomorrow for his contact information.

I would like 2 of these straps if we end up ordering !

I would also be interested in one set.


Maybe something that could be done as a group buy if there is a supplier.
