There sure are. You can try Ward automotive near Railway Street in Bishop auckland. Only problem is that are local to me rather than you

Seriously though - try to find a local trade type motor factors. Its a comon product and one of them is bound to stock it.

For some reason around Leeds most of the places that sold it wouldn't let me buy it if I wasn't in the trade. I ended up getting a few tubes off Ebay.

When I needed some quickly (i.e. same day), I found our local caravan place sold it (well, it was Tiger-seal, but same difference).
Not cheap, though, but convenient.

Some of the better local motor factor type places sometimes sell it too.

Alex - it is the stuff used to bond windscreens in. Go to your local windscreen specialist and buy a tube from them....

I purchased sikaflex from Travis Perkins.

B&Q nor homebase do not stock it.

dito the windowscreen stuff thats what my wings are bonded with RAE motor factors in Hinckley sell tiger seal which is pretty good stuff

My T Perkins had run out, and none at motor factors, so bought 2 tubes of Sikaflex 221 for £8 + £3.60p+p of ebay - arrived the next day. Good service and price I think.

Last time i got the windscreen replaced i wangled two tubes of the stuff from autoglass for free.
- Maybe worse considering if you see an autoglass van about.
- Obviously i'd chatted to him for a while, and told him about the kitcar. Job done.
