Where can I get some replacement straps for a set of RL40's?

I once saw a guy selling ones on ebay he had made from plastic.  I didn't think they looked that great.  If I was in your situation Craig, I think I'd just try to look for a strip of aluminum sheet metal in the correct width, and wrap them around yourself.  If you can't find it in the correct width then I'd try asking a local machine shop how much they'd charge to cut some sheet aluminum into strips of that width.  I wouldn't be surprised if it still ended up costing less than how much b&o would charge for replacements.  By the way, I'm assuming they're no longer available from b&o, but have you already checked to make sure?

I got some from a guy who advertised on the old site. Unfortunately I can't remember his name and have lost his contact details - soz mate🙁

 

BTW what on earth are RL40's?😎

Chris.

polypropylene packing strap which seems a good alternative to the original. If you're feeling avantgarde (and to confirm your RL40's are truly unique) you could even use a differnet colour!

I once used some gift wrapping ribbon and it looked great. I chose silver but reversed it so the matt underside showed.

I used ribbon also. The plastic ones on my RL60s snapped many years ago and I found some ribbon the same colour and width. Easy to wrap around the speaker body and to the eye perfect!

Thanks for the replies everyone, I think its time to experiment. If I do find something that looks good, that has not aleady been suggested. You will be the first to know.

Hi!

I have some spares for RL60. Maybe they can be cut down and refitted for the size of RL40?

PM if you or anyone are interested in buying.
