boltsnaps and stainless cylinder clamps

[liamm]

anyone know a good website?

I'm not sure if cylinder clamps is the right word - in my youth they were called jubilee clips. But anyway theyre for fixing a stage mounting to a cylinder ??

cheers

I picked up all the stuff for a stage kit, stainless bolt snaps, jubilee clip, cord, hose etc from B&Q for a tenner if thats any use. Not sure if you can get it off the website though.

is the b+q stuff marine grade stainless ?? if so then excelent as there's one very close ...

[jimny14]

the bolt snaps deffo, also do brass ones if you'd prefer, and pretty sure the large jubilees are too but can't remember now.
I tape mine up around the screw bit with some good electical tape n a strip of duct tape to keep the metal tag from catching on anything. No signs of rust problems or anything else yet, (done maybe 25 dives with it, both sea and fresh)

I wouldn't imagine its the best quality stainless, its probably a bit like Beaver stainless steel

you generally get what you pay for

i'm getting the impression that Beaver isnt the best of kit in general? Is this the case ....... i was looking at a decanting whip from beaver but if its cr@p then i mightnt bother.

[jimny14]

Hhmmm, well beaver don't have what could be considered the "best" reputation when it comes to kit. Lots of posts on here round and about slating various pieces of their kit. Don't know about their decanting whips, but guessing it wouldn't be great. Maybe someone will be along soon to say its good, who can say.

Liam, John Perrin does sell quality kit, you could also go to Tom in Breda Diving. For bolt Snaps there is "Stainless Direct" on eBay too.

Breda is fairly close to work so that would be handy. Where is John Perrin?
