In use, the strap just hooks onto the button & clicks in - slightly different move to a regular strap but takes an whole minute to get used to it ;) It will only come off again if you pull the knob that sticks out the top. | |

I haven't looked, but my guess would be they all come as a complete kit. It's only a case of unscrewing one pair of buttons & screwing in the other; even if the threads don't quite match, either re-using the old screws, or a bit of wood filler would sort it. I actually had zero difficulty when I swapped mine, all those years ago. | |

| Dec 19, 2014 at 8:46 | comment | added | Shevliaskovic | Can I buy just the top part of a new one? Or a whole new one and just replace the top part? | |

(I've had them 30 years & the strap never came off without me telling it to;) Functionally the same, I'd guess - but unlikely to be interchangeable. | |
