Winch hooks and latches wanted

[Boothy]

I am trying to find a supplier or manufacturer of the good old yellow 3.15t winch hook,or possibly a supplier of the spring clip, which my son and winch biatch has a remarkable habit of breaking or losing, rendering the hook useless for competition.

Any pointers please, I know I can buy a hook of a couple reputable winch suppliers for about £12-15 but its a lot to pay for a clip, I must have half a dozen missing springs/clips and I know I am not alone.

Cheers

I went direct to a company and the latch repair kit was virtually the same price as a hook

why dont you get one of these self locking ones, much better than the ones with the spring clips and safer to as there is no way the strop can come out

14 and 10 quid respectively

id imagine its just as cost effective to replace the hook

Thanks for the prompt replies, the only problems with changing the hook is where they are fitted to quickstrops, sewn on if you know what I mean, which is where the trouble is in my case.
