Apparently no one so far.. makes straps for 42 radiomirs!!!

So I asked the dealer, what kind of sizing my strap is.. he said it's 25/20...

i can't seem to find this configuration anywhere!!!

would it be weird if i use a smaller width like say 24mm/22mm??

i still would prefer to get stock sizing!!.. but it seems impossible unless i do a custom ABP order.. which is quite expensive

can't seem to find anything under 200USD

You trying to use your deployant?

24/20 would work too.

It'll be fine. I put 26mm straps on my 27mm lugs all the time on my 45mm Rads.

26/24. I got it in their premade section and wasn't as much as a fully custom one.

I'd find a good 24/22 and ditch the deployant.
