Anyone know where I can get these from? This is the fitting used for the straps on the sunpad cushions on the Fairline Targa 40. I need to get some - anyone know somewhere online I can order some? I've drawn a blank...

They're definitely a standard item, onlineable, but I can't remember where. I bought some years ago and have a bag leftover, maybe 4 of them. I'll post them to you if 4 is enough. They're in France on the boat so it'll be next week

You can also get them very similar in flat pressed metal strip. They'll do, but are not as nice as the round bar ones in your pic

That's really kind, but unfortunately I need either 8 or 10 (a complete set for the coachroof sunpad cushions on my T40). I really want to source the round-bar fittings because they were OE for the boat, and would match the existing fittings on the garage sunpad cushions. (Yeah I know, I know, OCD, but it's what I want...). Thanks for the offer though, very kind. Shout if you remember where yours came from.

All I can suggest (telling you how to suck eggs I know) is that Essex Boatyards spares service would supply them. They're current FL gear, cos I have them on the Sq58. Contact Alice Benning at EBY for spares

This looks very similar - but it's cast in solid brass. I assume yours are 316?

Thanks - but they are stainless. My original picture isn't great, so here's the only other one I've got - you can see that they appear to be fabricated out of three components, there's a distinct difference between the flat 'feet' if you will, and the round bar element. I haven't managed to track them down with google, mainly because I don't know what they are called.

Ooh really close, but not quite exactly the same (exactly the same is what I'm after). A 'webbing bridge' eh? Gives me something to pursue. Thanks for this.

Jimmy,

Why not call Fairline and ask for some in the post - I have done this in the past when I needed bits for a brokerage boat on sale with us and they were very helpful.
No reason to think they would not help...worth a try?

Yep, you're right, in fact per jfm's suggestion above I sent an email to Alice at EBY earlier today, should hopefully hear back tomorrow. I guess I'd just like to get to the core supplier if I could (a bit like buying fittings from Timage, or switches from Axon - both available via Fairline, but generally easier and quicker to get straight from the supplier).

Cheers

Jimmy,

I would try Fairline direct, they will (possibly);) just say, Oh only 10, put them in an envelope and call it customer goodwill.

We certainly would do and have in the past.
Sadly, I don't have anything like that or I would send them to you myself!

Mike.

I tried this - nada. 'Order via dealer'. Still waiting for the dealer to respond to my email...

Have you tried Tockfield who do the cushions? When you do find the supplier please let me know so that I can update my OEM list.

Hi Pete

I asked the guys at Tockfield about these when I was up there a couple of months ago - no joy. Good thought though, and yes I'll let you know if I manage to track them down.

Cheers
