I believe Mk1's had a 3/4" white rubber batter cover strap. Is it known when the change to black rubber took place?

My mate found a original / unrestored Mini 1000. It was built in week 40 - 1973, and it also had the White strap.

Re: Mk1 Battery Cover Strap
My 1974 "M Reg" Mini 1000 had a white battery strap.
The strap is made of stuff called Pirelli Webbing, this is still available.

Re: Mk1 Battery Cover Strap
Thanks all for your response. Last night I had a visit from James ( KA2S4) and he has some Pirelli webbing. It seems like my problem is solved.
