On another forum, Hippy Dave has got hold of a load of unused straps for a very good price.
They are rated at 3 ton, with a 7x safety factor (I make that 21 ton!), 6 metres long with a loop at each end.
They weren't originally made as towing straps - probably lifting straps, but are ideal for our use, in my opinion.
Only £5 each, collected from Retford, Nottinghamshire.
He will post at cost, but they aren't lightweight things!
I've just picked up some, and he's still got a hundred or so left, though at that price I don't know how long he'll have them.
Oh, and he's also got some just a little bit heavier; 30 ton with 10" x 6" shackle which he says probably weigh around 50kg
He's on OLLR and SeriouslySeries forums, I don't think he's on S2c, but if anyone wants to contact him and aren't on those forums, send me a message and I'll let you have his details.
Cheers,
Robin.
