Need "velcro" please

Postby Bundy » Fri Jun 15, 2012 4:47 pm

Howzit chaps,

I've just realised I need some of this special "velcro" that many use to keep their radio's in place while airbourne. I"m sorry I dont know it's exact name but it is different to normal velcro in that it does not have felt on one side....rather it has two interlocking sides...each one has an adhesive base.

Does anyone know what the hell I'm talking about? :roll:

Where I can buy it in PTA?

Thanks Gav.... but a mate from ML is bringing some through for me on Sat. Just need a bit to resecure our radio.

Thanks anyway! Our comm system seems to be working great! (^^) THANK YOU!

Had to cable tie the antenna in the meantime... :lol: Will make a proper plan on Sat when Hans is back. I'm planning to send the Vee rabit down to Paul for its "refurbishment" later this week....need to get some bucks in first! :roll:

Much obliged Gav...I appreciate you trying to be so helpful (^^), I will not be able to get to your neck of the woods before tommorrow though... Dont stress, I will just wrap it up and send it counter to counter later this week. I also have another mate (also Gavin :lol: ) who travels down to Durbs every 2 weeks so he can possibly drop it off as well.

You are a gentleman Sir.
