I snapped my booster strap on my atomic hawx in half earlier when tightening after first few runs. Does anyone know if these aftermarket booster straps come with rivets or screws to fit them?

Booster original straps don't. You need to get hold of some. Sure your local ski shop will had something for the job.

Just pulled liner out and looked at it. I think how you do it is cut away the old strap and then rivet the new strap into the very substantial original rivets.

@Glosterwolf, I drilled the old rivets out to remove the strap and replaced with captive nut and Allen bolt supplied.

You can use things that look like rivets but are opposing male-female screws.
Your local DIY will have them.

I bought Booster Straps from Ski Bartlett about two years ago and for about £1-2 extra they sent me all of the hardware I needed to mount them.

This thread has reminded me about an issue I have with my Fischer Ranger booster straps.
They have a ratchet system instead of velcro. The strap can certainly tighten really well, but it is not particulary wide and is quite fiddly to get thru the ratchet gap - esp first thing in the morning.
Added to that, the end of the strap itself started fraying after half a dozen uses - I burned it to make it useable again, but I just hate the design.
Think I might look at an after market version and replacing before the winter.
