    ...or whatever they are called :)

    Does anyone know what is their part number?
    I can't seem to find any reference on the service manuals (as they are accessories I guess).

    Or, more important: does anyone have a pair for sale? :)

    Thanks in advance fellows!

    The part numbers are right but the prices have gone up since Rob listed them 2 years ago and you will need to add at least $20.00 for shipping.

    Check this thread of Rob's http://www.toughbooktalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=375 , where he did work they were selling them for $15.00 per set shipped. I bought a set from Rob 6 months ago for a customer of mine plus a strap for it for $16.00 . If you are looking to buy send me a PM. I do not over charge for overseas shipping

    These are things I am sure could be invented with a little sheet metal and steel.... Heck, and old dog collar might work. Anything with D-Rings.... Easy to make the rest.

    Yeah I know what you mean Rick. Ten years ago, when I was still living with my dad and his nice equiped garage, I'd probably do it myself too. He even had a belt grinder! But now I live in an apartment (nice and big, but still an appartment...) and think that paying $10 for a couple of nice Panasonic designed D-rings is a bargain!
    Cheers!

    Don't you hate that? My wife and I almost bought a boat to live on... I couldn't give up my shop and didn't want to pay for shop space AND the boat! I feel your pain...
