I had a similar situation and got a standard small key ring and took the ring and the strap to a shoemaker who machined it together for me.

Hi,
I have a set of the older strap rings with the plastic shove on parts from my M6. They look a little different because they were bent so that they didn't damage the older bodies which didn't have the plastic protection inserts.
If you send me your address, I will be happy to mail them to you (for free of course) tomorrow.

I have exactly the part you're looking for. PM me your address and I'll put it in the mail...if you're in the continental USA that is. Otherwise I'd need reimbursement for shipping.

Call Leica, they will send it to you, likely for free.

Incidentally, this is an excellent strap, IMO, far better than many 3rd party straps that I know of except maybe UPstrap. I don't like wide straps or complicated straps with quick release gizmos, etc. (or leather straps, but that's just me)

Or the Domke 1" gripper strap 😉
