[Vwdiesel] Hi, looking for 2 parts, A2 and A4

[Chris Geiser]

When my strap rusted out, I bought some steel strips from fleet farm, bent
them on one end each to bolt to the car, then bent the other ends 90
degrees to meet each other.  Attach each end to the car first, then used a
long bolt to draw the two strip ends together until properly tensioned.
Coated everything with undercoating spray, and it outlasted the car.
