Maverik Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 You're looking for Tubular webbing... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/80mm-Tubular-Webbing-Polyester-RED-or-WHITE-One-Metre-/400736844875?pt=UK_Horse_Wear_Equipment&var=&hash=item5d4dc6fc4b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Best thing in the world is some old fabric 2" - 3" fire hose. You can put the eye over a Defender front bumper and it won't cut. Brilliant stuff - my 24mm nylon rope has what I think is 2" hose on it, must be 10 years old now and the eyes are still fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
