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: http://www.homedepot.com/buy/velcro-23-in-x-7-8-in-one-wrap-straps-3-pack-90700.html
About 5 bucks at Walmart, Cut to length needed. These are about 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch width. http://www.walmart.com/ip/NOCO-38-Battery-Box-Strap-Kit/16213368
We have a Volvo at work, if I can remember I'll measure it and get pics for you when I'm there tonight.
The one in ours is 24 inches long including the buckle. And 1.5 inches wide. Sent from my iPhone using that Tapatalk thingamabobber.
and volvo likes that little rascal. i called about one last year and they wanted over 25 bucks for the thing. that is why i swiped the one i had in my old volvo. it was over a year before i drove a volvo again. but i have my cb strap and i use it every day i just checked ebay and its not on there. call volvo. but i hope your sitting down when they tell you the price.
