this is going to sound stupid but... canopy holding threads- where can i get them?

[symondo]

ive tried umpteen different ones with no joy.

The 'pram' mechanism works fine but there is only 1 'locking handle' to screw down - the other is missing.

Were they a generic part or do i need to locate a specific part? I assumed they were generic until discovering the ones i had of varying sizes just weren't fitting in the slightest.

Are you talking about what they refer to here as a hand clamp?

Or a "Jaw slide?" I've only recently discovered these things were commonly available after revamping my canopy.

A few websites/suppliers to have a look at for this type of thing:

kayospruce
Seascrew
CJ Marine

Ahh ok so they have a random name hence my ability to not find them.

The hand clamp screw looks like the right kind of thing - its to go into a sliding rail with a tapped thread on it - essentially it should just screw down and hold it in place.

bingo!

Baseline came up trumps - oredred and in the post today thankyou!
