Looking for Rubber Hood (Bonnet and Boot) Straps



I'm looking for 4 off 1:24 Rubber Hood (Bonnet) Straps for my Old Skyline project, Does anyone know who might sell them, I've spent a couple of hours seaching the interweb with no joy.
I found that Sakatsu did some but must be now OOP as no-one seem to have them.

Thanks Guys

Steve,

Have you looked at Renaissance? I'm fairly sure that I recall seeing something there - could have been P/E part, though.

Tamiya morgan 4/4 has rubber straps but considerably different to those you are looking for.

I also seem to recall seeing a diecast with quite similar straps and remember thinking at the time that they could be "stolen" - if I manage to remember what it was, I'll let you know Old age....phew!

HTH

Re: Looking for Rubber Hood (Bonnet) Straps

Well, I turned my own one's from styrene stock. Just the basic shape and then I filed the flat portions and made the metal parts from thick aluminium foil.
Have a look, maybe not the best but I think they look as good as thoose from scaleproduction....well, almost.

My guess would be Bonnet Screw Set which apparently was translated a little incorrectly :-)
