They're easy to make with a scrap of leather, two D-rings, and two rivets (or Chicago screws if you don't have the thing to set rivets).
This being the DIY forum...
Top: crappy Pakistani adapter
Centre: decent adapter
Bottom: DIY heavy-duty adapter I made with Chicago screws. I made it wider so that it would fit snugly in the tab and not slide out making the sporran off-centre.
I have not used those D link things for more than twenty years. With my day sporran I just thread the leather strap through the "channel" on the sporran. And, on the rare event that I wear a dress sporran and chain, I just clip the two ends together and they reside in the place that that "D link thingy" lives. One does not necessarily need those D link things.
