I finally got around to doing this last weekend. Really glad I did since the old ones were quite knackered. I doubt they would have held up for much longer. Not the worst thing I've ever done, but I did have to take a hacksaw to the threaded bolt since the nut had turned to rust and welded itself to the threads. The hook where the other side goes into was a lot of fun too, since the straps are just wide enough at the end to require much finagling to get in place. I imagine the job would have been easier with a lift, but so it goes with most things. Just wanted to say thanks for the advice, this site has been a treasure trove of information for me since I bought the car 11 years ago!

I might try to draw up a template for the straps since they are NLA...should not be too difficult for someone to fab up.
