He’s a busy guy.
He’ll get back to us.

Like everything. I’m basically asking about the wrap and the anchors. Just sew everything?

looks like everything is sewn with some heavy duty nylon thread

Idk honestly. It’s a place that makes all kinds of custom crazy military utility bags. They have a lot of different materials at their disposal.
The entire thing was made on the spot.

The only and major problem is that this place is very unreliable of doing things.
No matter of price, it can take weeks until an e-mail or phone call is answered and at the end it takes month to get something, or you never get anything.

I can find the sources to get the material, only need is someone with a professional industrial sewing machine.

probably because they are busy with industrial/military bulk orders and cant be bothered with your custom one-off

Lol.
Klaus knows the owner personally.
He’s the reason we ever got in contact with these people in the first place.
Assumptions about things you know nothing about just make you look like an ass.

No, that is not the case.
They are in the top 500 worst organized companies in the world.
They need a manager and could easily increase production efficiency by 20 to 30%.

Another solution.
I use these non slip pads for car dash and straps. They work surprisingly well!

I wonder if a canvas shop would take this on? There are several marine canvas shops here in SD, I know at least one that will be able to make these, if given a proper pattern.

Good idea, will look into it, but more like a project for February 2020.

I haven’t gotten much further than just getting these straps and doing a mock-up on a board, these things look promising. The Onetigris one definitely looks larger and more durable, but the other one is made of an elastic type material which could be good as a final over wrap to further hold everything down. Here’s a couple mock up views and links.

For scale

Concave creates gap under strap?


Maybe splint foam can fill gap and help keep batteries/box in place?

Temporary bottom mount? Instant velcro test board.
