I'm in the same boat. My car has had the remnants of a bungee cord which I
removed recently and I wish to replace it with something more elegant. It has
not risen to a priority as yet but I've been thinking of some nylon strapping
similar to what you find on backpacks. Some hardware stores carry it in bulk
where you can buy it by the foot and the buckles, connectors, whatever they are
called are also available.
Like I said, it is not yet something I am pursuing but it is on the horizon.
Other options will be of interest.

Subject: [TR] TR6 Washer Bottle Strap
Hey all ~
I've got a pretty small, non-technical issue I'm hoping someone else has
already figured
out:
Some years back, I put a new square washer bottle, bracket and strap on my '74
TR6.
I notice that the strap (which looks like an oversized rubber band, looks like
it's about
to give way. Before that happens, I'd like to replace it: Not the bracket to
which it's
attached, just the band. It seems that Moss sells the bracket and strap as an
"assembly"
(P/N 546-140 @ $51.99) as does TRF (P/N 518265 @ $34.94). It seems obvious the
brackets don't wear out but the rubber retaining strap does. They don't seem to
sell
the strap apart from the bracket but I'd prefer to find a strap (no, not a
bungee cord)
at a considerably lower cost than the assembly pricing. Anyone BTDT?
Thanks in advance for any responses...
