Thule awnong storm tie down kit - help please

[GMJ]

I'm not wary but Mrs GMJ is. I'll try and slip in a night sometime if I can dovetail it with another trip.

I think it's all the wife swapping and 'ging gang goolie' around the campfire that puts her off tbh...

That explains why I always read your username as "always 'ard"

If I need to make something like that I buy one of these https://cpc.farnell.com/duratool/d0...PING&s_kwcid=AL!5616!3!224685952259!!!network and cut, drill and beat the hell out of it. It needs a good strong clamp to hold it while bending it - just one of my little vices

Our experience of the meets is more of an elderley gentlemens club atmosphere.

Basically, you will get out of a meet what you put into it.
It’s a Community thing.

Only kidding Rog, just trying to play down the wife swapping a bit. Do you think I could swap Shirl for a solar panel or am I asking too much.

That's a manky attitude by Thule. Put's me off ever using them and I think others should boycott them too.
Had a similar "tough luck" attitude from the mob who make the concertina-style window blinds. Forget their name, but I lost a small plastic piece which holds the blind open when driving. No spares but happy to offer a PAIR of side window blinds costing an arm and 3 legs. Tied it back with string about 18 months ago as a temporary measure!

Anyway, back to the original question...

I have managed to make one out of an old spanner of all things. I suspect that it came with some furniture years ago. Luckily it was rigid enough steel (c.1mm) to be strong enough for its new use. I cut the end off with an angle grinder and took the burrs off with my bench grinder. Then drilled a 6mm hole followed by forming it in the vice with a hammer.

Solar panel? You wouldn’t swap a Shirl for a whole bl**dy campsite!

Bit harsh Rog

I'm sure she's not that bad

I think what Roger is saying is, if you bring 3 wives you’re going to have a better time.

Are you sure you would have a better time???
