I want to upgrade some tool clamps on a Modern US build. Does anybody know of any aftermarket set for this?

Maybe Pro Art Models "modern clamping tools" set is what you are looking for.

See here: http://www.proartmodels.be/productgallery/product_gal_038.html

Modern vehicles don't really have tool clips. They have footman loops with fabric straps that hold the tools in place. Most PE sets for modern vehicles have footman loops included. Some have PE for the straps, or you can make them from masking tape or paper.

Footman loops and straps w/tools on M113.


You can also make the footman loops out of thin plastic rod (0.020). (Not the best pic, but you get the idea.)


Both the Black Dog and MR Modelbau sets are for Rachet Straps, not tool tie-downs or footman loops.

Blackdog has a fastners and buckle set

CSM Designs also has ratchet straps, pinch clips and spring clips. See the review here on armorama.

Thanks for all the replies. From looking at the various sets available and Gino's input, I think I can manufacture a reasonable buckle and strap using steel wire and masking tape.

I was looking for the type of clamp/clasp used to secure tools. It seems to be a simple buckle and strap set up. Thank you for Djiti's website. Bookmarked that one for later use.

Do keep in mind that, at least in my experience, crew kept their tools inside or locked up in box, to keep them secured from getting stolen or getting covered in mud.

On the Stryker, it shows the tools as being kept on the upper hull on the driver's side.
