Dinghy seat attachments

[NickNap]

Having left my dinghy seat behind last weekend it's now gone. Making a new one from ply easy enough, but does anyone know where I can buy the plastic claw fittings that go under each end of the seat to grip into the side webbing strips? (if you see what I mean)

I have the opposite problem. I threw away the dinghy, but kept the plywood seat and metal thingies underneath. Maybe there is a solution. If you could hold the line, I will go and find the bits.

The seat is 785mm(31") long by 230mm(9") wide, plywood, with an aluminium hook thingie on each corner. If you are interested, it's all yours.

Sorry, can't help there...it was yellow, stored in the cockpit locker and eventually simple faded away. I think even the manufacturer was ashamed of it, as there was no name on it, but the seat is first class.

I picked up a couple of the little angle brackets (+ a couple of "spares" from my local chandlers) for a wetline all for the sake of asking - see they are not all swindleries.. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif now got TWO seats - pity only one set of straps in the tender.

Can't be hard to get another set of straps & glue 'em on. But is there room?

That's very kind of you, and much appreciated - will try Cliff's solution tomorrow due to our distance apart and get back to you if no luck

[/ QUOTE ]Barely room and more pressing work to take care off than glueing straps and repads onto the tender.
