Bob:
It is canvas reinforced rubber. You can buy a complete new
bracket with strap from Vicky Brit. I don't know where you can get
canvas reinforced rubber to replace just the strap.
Another option is to get a 1" wide woven nylon strap with a
plastic buckle from the hardware store (cost $1) and cut it to the
appropriate length. The straps are used for cargo tie downs, etc and are
available in many lengths and widths. I got a black one.
I trimmed it to the appropriate length and pop riveted it on to
my old bracket. Works great, looks professional, and never rots unlike
the factory rubber strap.

Subject: Washer Fluid Bottle Bracket...
<1973 TR6>
I am refurbishing my washer fluid bottle bracket.
The bracket itself looks like it was/is black, and faced with an open-
cell foam, but what is the strap that secures the bottle made of?
I've got two short ends riveted to the bracket, and they appear to be
some sort of white rubberized canvas. Is it just canvas, or
elastic? I'm really not a stickler for detail (it is my daily summer
driver), but I would like it to be close to correct, in the interests
of functionality.
Thanks--
