Considering some industrial pegs for potential hard standing pitches. Any suggestions?
Would prefer the nail head type

We’ve got these and they’re certainly heavy duty but I’m not sure how good they are on hard standing. I think @CAB said in post 567 above that he doesn’t rate them for gravel?

@CAB wow, they do look good

Steel T-Peg - ONESIZE - Matt Silver

The T-shaped steel peg is a large and extremely strong peg for all kinds of hard ground including very hard clay, snow and sand. The combination of strong galvanized steel and robust T-shaped design makes it possible to hammer this peg into almost anything. At the same time it is remarkably easy...

Yeah, they go in fine but can be a bit loose after a bit. I ended up using two at right angles for each end of the tie-down.

Drove to MVM to pick up some more carpet and adhesive for the ply panels, to finish off the carpeting over the bank holiday weekend.

Nearly home and I realised I had forgotten the hidden panel clips.

I think I need to start making list for shopping.

How irritating! I would have been so hacked off

Worst thing is when they asked me if I wanted anything else, I said no that's all thanks, but had a niggling feeling it wasn't but couldn't think what it was :/

That’s an easier run for me! One thing that lockdown did for me is to appreciate independents more than dealers!

hi if youre in the Oxfordshire Area, the little garage in Britwell cum Sotwell near Wallingford is brilliant, I just had a water pump fitted, cam belt and idle belts changed all for 400.00, he worked for VW for 15 years before setting up on his own.

Did the garage use genuine parts or aftermarket?

 

[starstruck]

He did in deed use geniune vw

 

[ma77y]

Smart battery protect and battery charger. Shunt to arrive tomorrow.

 

[Sackmycook]
