I'm after a couple of metres and 3M Dual Lock extra strong Velcro type fastening.

Ideally it would be black or clear, and 25mm wide. As far as I can work out it comes with some very high tack adhesive that would rip the paint off if you stuck it to your car bodywork.

I've tried Google and can only find places that want to sell my 50m rolls of the stuff got £300!!!

Does anyone have any idea of where to get hold of some in Hampshire/West Sussex?
 
Try fleabay.

You'd be surprised how many people supply this sort of stuff in their ebay shop (I bought something, delivered for £25 that a main supplier wanted £80 for. Same product).
 
I'm sure I have seen some of that stuff in my local B&Q in HALESOWEN. In the hardware section with the tie downs and chains and strapping (ooooeerrrr).


Pat.
P.s. Don't know how much tho,

Tried these.

They only seem to have ordinary Velcro or heavy duty Velcro but NOT Dual Lock material which offers a far more robust fixing.

I am unable to access eBay following my refusal to supply them with very personal data to confirm my identity after I changed my phone number. I don't feel it is appropriate to send them originals of full bank statements of passport.

Belated thanks.

I looked at the Demon Tweeks website, then called them at 1400 on Monday.

Stuff arrived Special Delivery at 0900 Tuesday.

I'm trogging up to Popham tomorrow to do some flying. The place is littered with microlights and home-builds, so I'll see if there's any about for future needs.
 
There is another type of 'velcro' on the market as well that is super heavy duty. I don't know the brand but Bahr Intercoms comes with the stuff. Don't think its 3M. It has a bit more of a 'Lego' feel to it, ie both the hook and the loop side are designed to fit together, rather than a 'hook' grabbing a random 'loop' that happens to be there. If anybody know a name or a place to buy I get some.

This exactly describes Dual Lock from 3M - also known as mushroom fastener tape.
