Yes.... done in 3 stages.
1. Glue the strap down then up the tube.
2. Glue in between the strap to make as one.
3. Glue patch over the upper half of the strap.

That's great thanks... So much better than my idea of cutting the existing straps away and replacing with new.

It is the new style, but unfortunately it's getting returned to the dealer for a small issue ......

Hi FR... likewise hope London life is still good for you.

Agree yes just make one from PVC SIB material. Have you broken one of the black floor buckle straps? I did think I had some spares but just looked and must have been a false memory.

Going to be hard to find now given Bombard stopped the Aerotec in any meaningful way in 2014.

Firstrib I'd forgotten you upgraded to a 2016 Aerotec. Re your question about the buckle positioning on these later ones Big Al's post #14 details his method to resolve and that's what I followed rather than starting with new buckles.

The images of my similar mods are post #51 on this post...
