  2. Has anyone used a set of these rubber hold down toggles that haven't perished within a month or two?
    I've seen the stainless ones but they are a bit expensive and I'd like to try and avoid drilling new holes.
    These one could really have done with been fitted the other way round so the straps dangled away from the roof whilst it's been lifted but I'll have to live with it for now.

  17. The rubber hold down toggles arrived today
    Many thanks for them Steve.
    It's a sad state of affairs when you have more hope for a 20 year old rubber part than a brand new one!
    These seem a much better quality than the cracked and snapped ones they are replacing

    Old
