    Hi All,

    I would like to find some buckles in DIY quantities in Europe.  Specifically I want split bar ladderlocks such as these and sliding hooks such as these or even better, these.

    Ideally choice of size and colours would be a major plus, especially if together with reliable availability.  I find ebay far too much of a hit and miss, and shipping prices are at times quite ‘imaginative’ for small items that fit in an envelope.  A European retailed would hopefully avoid this problem.

    You can of course convert standard buckles to split bar with a fine hack saw. I have done this on a couple of occasions and it seemed to work satisfactorily.  This is the MYOG forum after all!

    Shelby has split bar ladderlocks, and a lot of other stuff, quite exciting!
