In the event anyone is in need of any snare tension straps, I have a source and can get VDF members a sweet deal. The straps are made from woven ribbon which works much better than the cheaper white plastic straps or cords often found on snare drums.

They allow the snare wires to sit flatter against the head than the cords which helps against snare buzz and gives a smoother on-off action.

Free shipping, just throw me a few bucks and I'll get you enough ribbon for a few snares. I changed all my snares after having issues with cord, best thing I ever did to my snares.
