Bugeye original hood storage strap

[Whitephrog]

I found the invoice from December 2004. The hood straps and the spare wheel tie down straps were purchased from Mike Lazarowicz. He had restored a red Bugeye to gold level concours rating. As I recall, he couldn't find straps that satisfied him so he had new ones made to original specs. Here's a link to his project. https://pdljmpr.tripod.com/hall2.htm

He may live in Port Clinton Ohio now.

The buckle is called a Roko buckle.

Several years back Jack Laird speculated that the originals were military surplus. These are very similar. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BRITISH-...913563?hash=item35f1ea095b:g:kEYAAOSwEetV-vVC

The original part number for the black webbing straps is 135198. I found this current source. https://www.ahead4healeys.co.uk/FIXING-STRAP---HOOD-STOWAGE-id15029.aspx

The small leather strap part number is 14A5492. I haven't found a source for those but some luggage tag straps are very similar. Here's an example. https://www.dyetrans.com/item.php?item_no=LS7BLK
