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.

Dec 14, 2017 at 10:51 pm #3507544You 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!
