My TG-6 is missing the bracket used to attach the wrist strap. I understand this is supposed to be a breakaway bit, but what can I use to replace it?
 
Use a zip tie to make a loop through the small hole on the side of the camera. Attach the wrist strap through the zip tie.

Thanks but I don't see anywhere to attach that zip tie.

Here is a picture of where the hand-strap bracket used to be:

Have you reached out to Olympus? Is the new model similar with that part? if no...

option 1 - get a small tray?
option 2 - assuming the screws would be part of it's mounting, get someone to 3-d print a bracket?

I have an Ikelite housing tray and ball arms. I was hoping for something less bulky for my wife for snorkeling.

I've also reached out to Olympus to see if that part is available (no reply as of yet).

3D printed handle is always an option. I'd be happy to glue it permanently. I haven't checked for existing designs, good suggestion.
 
Just unscrew one of the screws and use an anchor bolt with a hole through the head.

Those screws are tiny

Olympus responded and will sell me the bracket for $18 shipped, Im going to use the easy button.

Thanks to you and @rhwestfall for the suggestions
