Hi Jonsey

Have got some of these too - got ours from our local camping shop, but have seen them in Milletts on the high street too. Mine look the same and are made by Hi Gear - snap and fix arro eyelets if that would help with your search online.

Hope this helps!

They may be cheaper but clingons dont need any special tools/prep and can be added/removed/moved as the fancy or need takes you. We use them for extra guys/pegging points here and there and always carry a few for emergency repairs.
