Been looking everywhere for one of these. I have one of the earlier Autocord models, it looks like it needs a pincher hook sort of like the Rollei ones, but I've asked around and the Rollei ones don't work. I need specifically the Minolta straps.

Here's the solution I went with. Mine looked much nicer because I painted it black. If you use the right material, you won't even have to solder it.

I used a Gordy's neck strap with a string mount around the plugs for a couple of years without a hitch. It may look a bit dangerous but actually the string keeps itself nice and tight around the plug. Not a solution for the faint-hearted, though

I'm not sure for what TLR camera is this strap? For sure it's not for Rolleiflex or Rolleicord. It actually come with the later and bunch of other stuff. Is it for MInolta TLR??
