Thank you, guys. I have been photo-challenged on this site. Not being able to just upload from my laptop has been the issue. I would if I could!
As Der Ami correctly said, it is a quick shortening strap, and Gary Fatherree at accuriser rode in to my rescue early this morning. Despite trying in my own pathetic fumble-fingered way, I was unable to install it the way Der Ami suggests, and the only way it would work was the way Gary described.
Please understand, I am about the least competent hands-on mechanical guy you will ever meet. My mind just does not work this way. Statistics, economics, charts, graphs, data...that stuff speaks to me. Real-life mechanical things inspire me like my dog used to run from the vacuum cleaner.
