rick111s Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 hi all, at war and piece at the weekend i managed to buy a used bonnet tow rope. I've also ordered the staples to secure it. does anyone know the approx dimensions in terms of distance between each staple and also the gap between the two rows? Lastly where can i buy a new mil spec tow rope? i've ebayed and googled and only found 1 used one. Would like new if i can get it. thanks in advance.

dirkthe1 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I had to change the back door on the 2a after my x-wife (available at all good divorce courts) managed to reverse into a house . Compared with the old genuine one that came off, the new aftermarket one was very lightweight and obviously built to a budget = the difference in price. IIRC just about all back door apertures are similar (wait for corrections ...) and the doors will differ only in lock fittings, wiper holes, HRW wiring holes, wiring duct bracket holes and fittings for the door card? What do you mean it doesn't fit? You just aren't slamming it hard enough try withams tenders-email them and if they cant help they are fairly helpful and may point you were to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Wouldn't keep any rope out in the open, even if it's UV stabilied all sorts of road grit & grime will work it's way into the fibres & could render it useless when you need it most, keep it inside in a waterproof but breathable bag & clean the rope & get it dry before storing it.

I would certainly be interested in 2no for a group buy if there was enough demand.. Did you tell you how many would be needed to qualify for a sale? thanks again Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
