Nylon camera strap loop keeper plastic things, where to buy?

[rknewcomb]

i looked a long time time last night trying to find some of the little plastic keepers that you use on nylon camera straps.
I guess I don't know exactly what they are called and where to get them without buying a new strap.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

In the old days you could not get them as loose part. Futhermore the problem is that their dimension must fit the thickness of the straps used.

My advise is 3D-printing.

Or see if you can track down some very small black elastic bands and wrap it around the strap several times .
Most of the plastic fittings on my straps are a bad fit .
Too loose half the time and move around in the camera bag .

Here an alternative would be micro duplex-velcro band.

They got the usual and unusual hardware, sports and household rope&belt stuff, but not the tiny stuff we need.

I feel sorry - they have -almost- everything 'strap-related' ...

There's plenty on E bay second hand.

seems like it was not too long ago I was able to buy a small pack of them from B&H but I don't see them anymore. I also don't know exactly what they are called to search online stores or even on Ebay.
Thank you all for the help.

Instead of those plastic loops you might use those metal buckles.
But that would not relieve you from searching for sources.

(I just buy enough used stuff to have spares of parts in house.)
