Hi Jon,

The lug width for a vintage Monaco is 22mm. A Tag dealer will probably not be able to help you with a perforated strap as they have not produced one for the re-edition Monaco's (very inconvenient).

Regarding buckles, they are available in 16 or 18mm from a tag dealer as they were produced for the Monaco & Carrera re-editions. Come to think of it, I probably have a spare one of each, so when you find out which one you need, let me know.

I think that Banda can sell you a tailor made strap so that you can specify your own dimensions (lug width and buckle size, etc.). I also have a very dark brown perforated strap that fits my vintage Monaco, that I never use. I can send you a photo if you are interested. I seem to have collected a bag of superfluous straps & buckles in the last few years that never get used.

Hope that this is of help & good luck,
Ian
