Anybody else bought the repro rubber jack strap? Mine had just a little bit of tension on it. Was on there a week, looked under the rear carpet, and it had snapped in two! Kind of frustrating. It is intended to be stretched a bit, right?

My '73 still has the original and even with 40 years of getting brittle - yes there is some give to it. If yours has snapped it sounds defective.

My repo snapped a couple of days after installation too. Might have been a bad run of rubber ???

If you're dealing with AA you'll need more than a jock strap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Good luck
