Bell's T&T Straps

Has anyone heard whether Bell has made any progress in extending the calendar life of its 206 series T&T straps? By 20%? 30% perhaps?

Bell's been working on this problem for over 30 years. I'm starting to doubt their sincerity in wanting to extend the life of TT straps. What kind of engineering challenge is it to make them more durable? Why is it taking so long (well over 30 years)?

Just wondering if anyone has an insight into this ...
