I was assigned a Volvo day cab.
The dash has the spot for a CB to mount.
The previous driver took the Velcro strap that laced into the slots on the dash to secure the radio.
Does anyone know where I can find a replacement?
I cannot find one at the truck stops. eBay lists all kinds of velcro straps, I just do not know how long it has to be and how wide?
I don't want to use the self adhesive strips.
To me the strap looks like it should be about an inch and a half wide?
Anyone have one they can measure length and width?
Or a part number or location I can order it?

Two thoughts:
1. Check with Volvo.
2. Loop a tape measure through the slots and around your rig and see how long a strap you need. Don't forget to add 4-6" for the overlap.
This might work; about $5 from Home Depot:

...Or a fabric shop, in case there's one of them closer to you than a Home Depot or Lowe's.

About 5 bucks at Walmart, Cut to length needed.
These are about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch width.

We have a Volvo at work, if I can remember I'll measure it and get pics for you when I'm there tonight.
