If the release on the strap is a plunger type, wouldn't it be too easy to disconnect? Hmmm...... maybe some type of 1/2 turn system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno, but I've asked him anyway:D It could simply be a Dunlop flush fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITEFLY182 Posted September 10, 2006 Members Share Posted September 10, 2006 Theyre dunlop flush mounts. Its the same mechanism but designed as a cylinder instead of a strap button. You just recess the whole cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NITEFLY182 Posted September 10, 2006 Members Share Posted September 10, 2006 those are the ones. The only dunlop I would ever use. The regular versions are total crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mikesr1963 Posted September 10, 2006 Members Share Posted September 10, 2006 That's not hard to do, you just counter sink the entire straplock. He was just the fist to think of it. I wouldn't call it craftsmanship, I would call it buying the correct drill bit. Not a whole lot of skill involved, just smarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bob Duice Posted September 10, 2006 Members Share Posted September 10, 2006 What if it were Dali? I suspect the straplocks would be found as knobs on two small sliding drawers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
