I have my straps out, if I remember tonight I will post a photo with dimensions. You have the straps and the metal brackets, right?

I used #10 x 3/4" flat head stainless steel screws. The screws that came with my straps were too long and started hitting the body before they were tight. These fit perfectly.

Thank you!! No brackets were available and the cheap plastic clips / coathooks from JBugs didn't fit either. We just used black screws from Lowes. Maybe one day I'll find something suitable to put up there. Appreciate you!! |
