Hey everyone, thanks for the advice. Now an admission to you all - except my missus who's know for years - I am stoopid. As soon as I saw DCM's post last night (sorry I didn't respond, I was in shutdown mode) it triggered something in whats left of my brain. Went out to the spares stash this morning and had a dig through the pile of Tamiya T/C stuff I've not touched for ages and there, still in its packet is a TA05 carbon battery strap
. Result.
Now I just need to sort the spur out but that'll have to wait till next week now as got no time to do it for a few days.
