Get some Leather off cuts, or an old Belt, and some super glue,an sharp knife.
I think you can work the rest out, from there.
Cheers Matt.

I've printed out a few things for the Tesla.
Latest 3D designs and prints
And the lastest are these seat belt plugs to stop the "seatbelt not attached" when you stick the shopping on a seat.
(not that I do that as I use the "frunk" for my shopping.

You can buy these plugs for peanuts but they are too big for the back seat seatbelt sockets which are recessed into the seats.
They're printed with Carbon fibre impregnated plastic so ar reasonably tough.

In the old Irwin days we always kept plenty of spare pads in stock and gave them to people requiring replacements, now that Stanley own Irwin kiss your spare parts goodbye.

Sorry, Crowie, but the reference seems to evapourated into the ether.
I tried the Irwin websites and they all say "Out of Stock".
I did find a reference on Bunnings New Zealand site which said :
"Sadly Irwin do not offer replacement pads. Not good enough in this day and age where we should all try to be more sustainable."
Stanley Black & Decker now own Irwin so it looks like they are extending the renowned Stanley Service to the Irwin range and have discontinued supply of these essential items. Good marketing strategy to encourage people to buy Bessey clamps!

Hi Crowie. I was in a Bunnings 2 days ago and saw these in the tool shop section. I think they are getting rid of them because they were hanging under a hand written price tag and there were not many left. Only noticed them because of this thread.

Yes, That is correct sir!
Bunnings has made them obsolete and selling them off cheap to remove the stock.
I've dropped into 6 different Bunnings in my travels in the past fortnight and even though the staff "stock app" says they have them, they've often been gone.
I have however managed to pickup 3 packs.
I send a private message to Irwin Australia on Instagram mentioning this discussion asking when and were else they might be stocked.
The reply was that currently they too have discontinued them!
I wrote back suggestion that they advise the "Marketing Dept" of the inquiries and this discussion for further consideration.
Cheers crowie
