strap anchors/lugs

I'm probably overthinking this, but the metal lugs on my other cameras have always had holes for attaching non-HB straps.

I have a Peak Design strap that includes the usual anchors.

So I found this: https://www.amazon.com/Strap-Adapter-Hasselblad-2000FC-205TCC/dp/B075RXPZRN

....but several users complained about welds in the metal than can separate and send the camera crashing down.

Is there a better alternative? Or a way to buy the OEM anchors for the X2D?

Thanks!
 
I love the PD straps for my Leicas (including the S3) so I’d love to find one for the Hasselblad. It would be great for the 500 series as well as the X2D. They make super straps.

I found these on eBay, used and from Japan, that look like a possibly better design. I think the angled part lifts up and then snaps down to hold the lugs on the camera anchors.. They're $20 plus another $20 for shipping. (Note: there's no description of how they work on the listing)

I’ve used the ones from eBay, as well. The snap works, but is a bit wonky as it swivels perpendicular to the strap whereas a conventional lug would give a direct, in line attachment to the strap.
