Ratchet Straps
Where's the best place to buy ratchet straps from? Good old e-bay or elsewhere?
Whats the best size for securing an Indy to a trailer? I'm thinking something about 4m x 1.5t x 25mm wide.
Any suggestions or thoughts

I got a set from e bay exactly the same as these
e bay
link they are brill, good quality and i paid about the same money as these, you cant buy in the shops for this sort of money. Probably a bit OTT
for strapping down the MK but it wont come loose with these on . I havent bought from this guy so check him out first

most Builders merchants do them,
i got mine from the harrogate show £20 for a pair of 5 ton straps excessive but will do more than the job.
the one i got from the builders was £14.99 again 5 ton strap.
machine mart as suggested also do a good collection.
good luck helfire with getting them.

Know any lorry drivers?
If so they usually have a 'spare' few knocking about. Proper heavy duty ones.

If you're fastening a car to a trailer you need proper wheel straps as used by rescue organisations. Always fasten the unsprung section as the
body will bounce around and slacken your straps otherwise.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Our drivers never seem to have enough straps on board.........................but always seem to have a wallet full of fivers
visit your local truck stop..............

Notify eBay then - I am sure they should be interested as their commission is at stake!

Just imagine if you have a problem with them and want a refund. All you will get is the £6.00. No joke then!
It might seem like a good workaround for Ebay's charges, but it is you who suffers financially.
