HI David
What did you use to lengthen the short strap. I was thinking some kind of tow strap material would work?

Hey Jordan,
I used a piece of material from a ratchet type tie down strap which was roughly 3" wide and a close match in size to the normal WWII straps. Since the originals are pretty tough, I hammer riveted the straps together as it would have been difficult to sew and won't be visible. Just make sure the two places you have to join up are past the metal angle brackets that hold the PS/U and then they won't be in the way of anything.

I'm posting another one for Dean. This looks too small for a horse cock, maybe a donkey dink? but it does look like it'd be a spout for the cans.

I'm not sure on the scale of these pix so maybe somebody can clue me in. Are those mounts the length of the 19 set with or without the power supply when they're mounted side by side? To mount the set and power supply side by side will I need more than the two mounts and how many straps?
