Non-metal binocular strap attachment clips (1 Viewer)

Looking at website photos on the Rick Young Outdoors, their harness apparently requires use of metal rings that will dig into my SFL's attacment lugs so I'm looking for clips that are non-metal. Years ago, I bought some wonderful, durable non-metal, "slide-in plastic clips" but can't find them after much searching on the web. I've seen a few alternatives but hoping for better options. Any suggestions?

I saw some of those Rick Young plastic clips, but they still require a metal ring for attachment (see link below).
Binocular connection straps

Thanks.

Look up chill6x6 if you need to. He's been a proponent of RYO for years, (convinced me). He uses small zip ties in lieu of the metal O ring, again as do I. Looks a little kludgy. Works great. I can send a pic if you'd like. lemme know

I found it the post. Thanks very much. Ordered the RYO harness a few moments ago. Thanks a lot.
 
Zip ties are great and cleaner looking, but I now use 550 paracord. It lets me keep the harness hardware a but farther from the EPs, and I rig a second loop on the left side to handle the rain guard.

Lightweight, adjustable, strong and ingenious. I like the color, too. Thanks for sharing.
