Side Car Accessory Parts

[panz4ever]

So I am attempting to piece together what I need for the sidecar that is going on my 65 project.

The backrest has a latch on it with a cover plate

When Merle was still around the cover plates were included with his seat package

It appears to me that he probably sourced it from a ready made supplier.

Anyone have an idea on a source?

Second question: The checkstrap material almost looks like the same type of material used for fire hoses

Anyone have a source or can tell what type of material it is made from?

The checkstrap material is known as webbing, comes in many widths & weights
A good upholstery shop should have some.
Or for khaki, or green, try military surplus stores,
Or for modern equivalent try mountain climbing/extreme camping equipment suppliers, might need sunglasses for some of the colors.
Some dog leashes made of similar stuff, can probably dye black.
