Default Re: Roberts Revival carrying handle

The R200 chassis length is 22cm, a standard 'Revival' handle is 37cm laid flat. When fitted to an R200, the 'loop' looks unnatural (too small compared to the original).

I have had success using a strap taken from a' Revival' R550 (A slightly bigger set - 39cm strap), recoloured with shoe leather dye, and with a minor adaptation to the end caps of the strap to make it fit the R200.

It wasn't as good as the original 2-tone blue / white handle, but did look the part when I'd finished.
