WTB - your old BD skin tail straps
Update- all
Good now!
This style, which I think can no longer be purchased.

I’m pretty sure they can be pulled out of the brackets without breaking anything just by lodging them to one side then pulling the lug toward the tip of the skin.
Anyone holding?
EDIT:
Just to make this clear, the current generation of black tail straps has a different geometry than the pictured old style straps. I need the old style, with curved lug at the end, not the new style that is for sale in shops or direct from BD.

Thanks Mikey. That would require me to drill out the existing bracket rivets or cut the tail off the skin entirely. Which I was hesitant to do for $25 a kit for a 13 year old skin that has been reglued but still has a bit of life left.
I’m less hesitant to do it for $15 (if my local shop can price match since you aren’t shipping to Eugene for free, are you?), but still hoping to take the easy way out with a strap that slides right in!
I need two of the old style straps.

Current style on left, old style on right.
Old lug is curved, new lug is straight and can’t be pulled through the bracket without opening it. Can’t buy old curved lug straps anymore.
Seems like most of you folks who continue to be confused by my posts are still on ancient gear like me …
Cut curved strap. Remove curved strap from riveted metal. Pull new straight strap thru riveted metal. Replacement straps sold by bd are straight and work fine to replace curved strap. No need to unrivet the metal.

Also, the new bd straps with longitudinal curve can be replaced with the bd longitudinally straight straps.

I have an STS Kit-Small with straps, bales and rivets.
