Good evening all

I have 98 Khyam Ridgidome xl which is in fair condition. The plastic disc (I am informed they are called spiders?) at the top of the dome has had it's day unfortunately, and Khyam have just released the last of their spiders and have no more.

My only chance is finding one is at a tent repairer / dealer. Does anyone know of a good tent dealer that is also likely to carry spare parts such as this?

Thanks

Hi Weebsy

If you update your profile with our location you will get more "relevant" answers.

We have a really good tent/awning repairer HERE in Hull

Cheers

Have you asked  Khyam for a list of parts stockists, whom they supply ?

2tents

Post a photo of your old one on your profile as i havent a clue what it looks like.

cheers

Contact Kyham themselves they may well take pitty on you and send you one.  I've done it before and got some connectors from them

Its a case of if you don't ask you don't get !

i think weebsy has asked but they haven't got

good luck with finding your spider. My local shop doesn't sell khyam any more but they had some spare joints (don't know about spiders) when i was there so it is well worth ringing around.

Thanks for the replies. I think I am on to a loser on this one. I could have a new skeleton for £100 but don't think it is worth it. My tent is currently in Outdooraction in Blackburn ( whose service is excellent by the way) Their repairer (Mark) has done what he can and reckons it will see a few more trips if I'm carefull. I will repost this on "under canvas" section in case anyone reads that board but not this.

Kayham don't have any, which is understandable after 8 years.

Will probably get a new one in due course, but hopefully this one will get me through Glastonbury!

Hi Weebsy

Have you tried the one at Manchester name escapes me now, something "land" I think, but as said earlier if you can post a pic of your old one it might just help to jog peoples memories into thinking "I'm sure Ive got one of those at the back of my shed hahaha".

I was also told Glastonbury ISN'T on this year, something to do with not being able to get the bands to come, and some other crowd control problems, and facilities.

Best of Luck with your search.

Regards

 Steve.

steve, are you in denial because you didn't get a ticket  

btw ... are the tops if the 1998 ridgidomes different to the current ones. I presume they must be if you can't get a replacement.
