Well I noticed it has been some time since I posted my last 'Stupid question' so here goes;
whilst at the York MVT Crank-up I noticed on the other Reo's on display their tilt covers were tied down using a sisal/hemp type rope (mine has been bodged using paracord and spring loops) anyway as many of you will already know the tie down hooks on the side of the cargo body are more 'set up' to take the thicker stuff so....Thanks to Dale and Nick for my lesson on how to tie down in the future !!
where is the best place to source the right stuff (rope) ? also instead of splicing the rope What is the name for the fitting to make the 'eye' formed through the canvas ferrule ring and does it require a special tool to 'crimp' the join ?
Sorry for the poor description, but I am sure my stupid questions must amuse some members if not totally frustrate others, anyway, questions comments abuse ?
