For you ASAT owners who might like to make your own strap extender, here's a description of how I made mine:

An extender for the 6-bolt ASAT people.

Very cool.

Well done!! Great to see this for the 6 bolt. Unfortunately, all my sources are no longer available and haven't made an ASAT strap extension for years.
Still use mine and couldn't play an ASAT without it.

Thanks, ASATMAN. Your great design was my inspiration!

Nice job! I noticed Tom Hamilton went with what apears to be about a 3 " long stand off.....I'm assuming its a his is either made by a machinist since he is clearly using dunlop strap locks, which have a special head on the screw, or a piece of steel or aluminum tube with a longer screw running through it.....if you google Tom Hamilton pics you can see it on his gold glitter ASAT.
