Funny how the famine to feast thing happens sometimes!
Just curious... do my eyes spot rubberized waterproofing flaking off? Wouldn't be surprised as that sort of early stuff had some teething problems.

Interesting to see the popper stud repair/mod replacing the original, easy breakable, plastic closure tab things.

Typical,need to check one of them out and cannot find the bloody things!!!
Would it be worth me trying to source the original clips and replace the pop studs or leave as is?

Hi Gulf
If you find the original plastic closers removing the Velcro and poppers is going to leave holes, Looking at the photos it looks like the poppers could be origional to the piece.

Rich,
I would personally leave the pop-studs as a legitimate field modification, since you have the other one as an example of its original issue. I just recently viewed two of these on eBay and I am glad I have two examples in my own collection, they were starting at twice what I had paid for mine.
