    Does This Y Strap Look Right?

    Here is a Y strap that I have on Hold at the moment. Is it correct? Is the back strap right? Is this a late war Y Strap? Thanks for your help.

    I once flew in a B-17, B-24, & a B-25. Next, I want to fire an 88 round.

          These look like a nice late war set to me. including late war end piece which looks to be ok too ... I allways had a little doubt about these end pieces, but it looks to be an ok one... Do you have a close up of the endpiece ?

                Eric,
                I saw all your Y-threads, hope you find honest one someday

                  Another point to note, is that I think the D rings on the back are the ones that are set at an angle.

                  This is not a problem in any way, just thought I point it out.

                  Here is a comparison to illustrate what I mean. The top one is the more common variant and the bottom one has D rings similar to the one you have posted

                  Hope it helps

                  Regards

                  Ian

                    Good point Ian.... when I look at them closely, it looks like one is vertical and one is horizontal.... Or is this my imagination......

                    I would like to see better pictures....

                        It looks as if these might be the one's. It has been difficult getting the right pieces when you do not have knowledge in a particular field. I am getting ready to do a mannequin and this has sure been a learning process for me. I can't say this enough, Thanks to everyone for the help. I'm sure I will be back with more questions later on. I don't know what I would do without this forum.

                        Thanks to everyone again!

                          Looking at picture 4 again Tom, I see what you mean - quite strange!

                          Cheers

                            Hello,
                            I would like to see a close-up of both rivets that hold auxiliary straps...i don't like the different angle positioning of both D-rings, i don't like the difference of thickness of both front straps, i don't like the auxiliary straps made of two different leather....just wondering if it is a put together or not ?
