i recently switched to a individual shoulder straps on my set up. But sicne my cross bar felt a bit high for a wrap around, i ended up actually drilling through the cross bar and inserting/welding another piece of tubing so i could put a 1/2" bolt through the cross bar. it also lowered my mounting point by a little over an inch and felt much better.
unfortunately, i havent taken a picture of that yet.

I just used standard tabs and welded them flush with the top of the rear bar.
I don't recall where I got them but most VW off road places like Mckenzies carry them.
Here's a link to a picture showing the setup.
