    There was a guy selling just the holder ($10-$15pr) but only in pairs and a few were using the CF-19 strap...I think, it's been a while.

    I believe it was Rob who had the rings. You'll have to wait for him to get back from his honeymoon.

    I am almost home. In Detroit now, gonna be home in a hour. As I have said about 100 times already, it would be in EVERYONES best interest to buy CF-30/31 D-Rings and use the ring portion with the clip portion of the CF-29 rings to have the bigger ring so you don't have to buy the crappy, expensive proprietary strap from Panasonic.

    It is good to know that Newegg does have this though. Thanks Boo Boo!! :)

    Are you still able to hook me up with a pair of those rings then? Let me know how much? When I first got the computer I was thinking I would never use those things, then after the first time trying to walk out the door with my hands full, I immediately realized their value.

    Haha... Yeah, I have to place a Heartland order today or Tomorrow and I WILL order more!

    It's $25/pair shipped. Just send the money to [email protected] with a NOTE: "This is for 2 x D-Rings as per ROB"

    Remember that you'll have to use a screwdriver to PRY apart the CF-29 ones and then take the RING ITS SELF and put it on the black 29 CLIP.

    Thanks

    that sounds good. I just want to make sure I am getting the brackets as well as a D-ring (I'm missing a bracket on one side). If you look at the second pic, you can see the piece I'm missing.

    Yeah, but that CF-30/31 bracket won't work on the 29. I'll have to send you the pair of CF-30/31 D-rings and one 29 dring.

    Thanks

    Rob,
    I have a piece of leather laying around. :rolleyes: How wide is the CF-30 d-ring....measured just inside the curves?
    Also how long would a strap need to be. I have the CF-18 type and I can see what they are for..like a wrist strap or were they cut?? but are some folks needing a shoulder strap. Maybe padded with sheepskin?

    Jeff anything from leather

    Sorry for the high jack. I was wondering if anyone had the length of a standard shoulder strap. I might whip out a test model one of these days.
    My question was the width inside of a CF-30 d-ring.
