Hey, gang -- I'm trying to find a source for nylon or kevlar or whatever straps for pedal restorations. I'm making my own leather ones, and I think the guys playing them are going to have a fairly light technique, so stretching etc should be minimal.
Having said that, I'd like to have the option of using another material. Most of the shops are pretty cool about measuring the replacement straps, but not all are in stock.
Anyone know the dimensions of the DW replacement strap.? Or any others? The Gibraltar leather is a hair wide and too short....
OR... strap material is available, but I've never been able to get a smooth, even hole in it. Heat an awl and ease it through? Or... what kind of technique works?
Many thanks! -- the people an this site are ALWAYS generous and helpful!
