Dear all!

I'm looking for some thin cord or rope to tie my half-hood to the rear of the car (rather like the Softbitsforsevens one)....
but I can't find the right stuff. My local haberdashery place has black cord but its just twisted not braided....
I thought it was called ripcord but trying to search for that doesn't seem to get me anywhere....
Any ideas??

Cheers

Army surplus type places call it 'Para-cord' IIRC.
Boaty type places also sell it.

yip second that its called para cord

B&Q sell a range of ropes and cords. Climbing / absailing places may sell something usefull too.

try detcord

Or shockcord . Your local camping suppliers is likely to be cheaper than boat suppliers .

lidl have boat type ropes on sale from 10/05 dont know if it be any use to you

Or your local climbing / camping shop for accessory cord, comes in all sorts of thicknesses and colours.

Para chord - go to online to www.sof.co.uk. I always got my stuff from there if I had tyhe time to wait
