Nylon Pad Eyes

[Gad]

Hi all,I`m like straddybrad and don`t deal my details with online shops, does anyone in the Ippy area know where I can get some nylon pad eyes ,locally,as I need some to set up an anchor trolley and some elastic rope gear tie down straps on my yak.

I`ve tried Ippy Marine,Jackson`s,(tivollii marine has vanished),hardware shops,camping stores,T&C

TIA cheers

What are nylon pad eyes exactly?

[Gad]

1/2 ovalish nylon loops that you screw on the hull/deck of a yak to feed your ropes through,clip yak seat to, tethers to,etc.

years ago metal ones were called oval deck eyes(If memory serves me correct)

Thanks for that offer booty,there not quite what I want first choice,but may have to resort to that type if I can`t find the ones I`d like,also I need about 20 all up of the ones I`m chasing to finish a couple of other projects I have on the go.

Looking through an old catalogue,(company no longer exists) their also called(then) saddle eyes.
