Thankyou Silicon and Uncle Bulgaria for the suggestions.

I do not know how easy/practical it is to extract a broken steel strap from the plastic strap handle and then insert a new steel piece, also do not know where to get a suitable springy strap metal piece. Will have to remove the chassis from the case to be able to get to the strap securing bolts to remove the strap and see if the broken piece will pull out and see how it interfaces to the metal end caps.

I have just taken the TK 35 (plus many others) to an offsite rental storage location as part of an ongoing slow attempt to stop my house disappearing under a huge amount of equipment and accessories.
