Top box rack clamps... ?

Postby Blurredman » Mon Nov 26, 2018 9:16 am

Where would one get, in the UK, top box rack clamps from?

I would call them P clamps. I can find them on e-bay, but they're the cheap and nasty crap. You need proper steel to hold a top box on a rack.

I've tried looking into the obvious places where you would have thought they would be sold- but cannot find..

Like this:

For anyone that is also looking for them.

They look 'proper' and not flimsy metal crap.

Yet to receive them however. So If I post again regarding their quality, don't bother buying them..

Otherwise price is okay... For something that I seem not to be able to find very easily than on-line, I suppose I have to pay on-line prices..
