Pinet Plastic Roller Catch

[Stellina]

Anybody tell me where I can buy one of these online? They are sold by RS Components but I can't find them anywhere (in English or Norwegian) by googling... My boat is by Dufour and Pinet is French so they must be for sale somewhere.

Some of the caravan ones can be a trifle flimsy, I used to keep a bag of spares in my last caravan. Bot Screwfix and B&Q do some pretty sturdy metal ones

Thanks, I've seen the caravan ones (and have a caravan shop just round the corner) but I have only the roller part missing on one of the 2 instrument panel catches so I'd like a replacement. I've found them online in German but not sure I dare go through the checkout....

B&Q, and most hardware stores stock the complete units in brass at reasonable prices.

Well you can get the same thing from RS in the UK

I know; but you have to open an account and pay by invoice as far as I understand. It's for companies (at least in Norway.)

I am pretty sure RS in the UK will sell to any one who has money, you do have to be a company to get a credit account, but we can buy direct and get the company discount for private requirements

Thanks; I got as far as registering (in the UK and Norway) but was put off by only being able to pay by RS Account rather than a card. I'll give it a go...

Conditions of sale state business to business, not to private individuals. In Norway I need a company number. Someone must be selling them!

I have an account with RS please email me with what you need and I will try and sort it out for you. malc@mainmarine.co.uk

Thanks Malc, a generous offer. I've sent you a mail.
