Hi all, just looking for ideas on how to attach my tarp to side of  van? have seen these 'super power suction cups' with a hook to attach the guy, but cant find the website!17

Dont really want to have loads of guys all over the place, just more of a hook and eye quick release setup.

Any suggestions/web sites would be great.

thanks in advance

Google suction hooks, John Lewis look like they have some decent ones. If not try dent pullers, they go down to about 50mm

Just saying
If all is not lost where is it then?

Hi all, have another question, could be for the mechanics amongst us. Thinking of buying a decent set of 2nd hand alloys. These are 17" 6 stud. Been looking at the teck stuff & the PCD is 139.0, the PCD of the alloys is 139.7. So is the .7 enough to stop them from fitting? Don't want to buy a pup & waste money. Or if anyone has any simular experiances, be open to suggestions.

 Again, many thanks for the replies & input from you all.

We use dent pullers to attach a tarp to the roof of our van, works really well.

There just cheap ones from a local market but they have stood up to some strong winds over the last eighteen months or so.

Just wet the rubber pad before sticking them onto a flat part of the roof. The only trouble they give me is they leave a little round stain on my shiney red paint, but that polishes out with no bother next time I clean the van.

Retro, its the future...
