    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?

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

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

    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 :p

    i just checked ebay and its not on there. call volvo. but i hope your sitting down when they tell you the price.
