Hi,
Wondered if any of you guys can help...
I have missed placed my Draught skirt holders... the best way I can describe them is the they are very similar to the Suckers that are on the old fashioned arrows.. that you licked and they stuck to the surface when you fired them out of the bow..
Ha Ha... sorry that's the best way I can describe them.. they stick to the side of the the van.. the wheel arch draught skirt is then located on the top of the suckers..
Hope this makes sense.. and someone can help me out..
Thanks in advance..
Stu

I bought a set from a local branch of either Boyes or B&M, use similar things to hang Christmas decorations up in the van.

We bought some self adhesive plastic press studs from Amazon. See here. The metal press studs on the draft skirt just clips into them. We tried the sucker type but got fed up of them falling off.

They are excellent and called SNADS, made by YKK,(the zip people), used a lot in US for boat cover fastening and quite cheap too. Very difficult to get hold of in the UK so expensive.

I use the 55mm snap hooks here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suction-Hooks-Any-Type-Quantity-Clear-Plastic-Rubber-Window-Suckers-/201073348130?var=&hash=item2ed0e7ce22:m:mFvY788V37HHbRG9X_C46kA

Very strong, also use them to hang wet coats in the awning
