Ratchet strap - spare parts

[smcapstick]

Being tight as a fish, I want to repair my existing ratchet strap ratchets rather than simply buy more new ones.

The short straps under the ratchet are wearing thin on several of my ratchets (I have had them 10+ years) and due to this wear, I no longer deem them safe for use when transporting stuff on the road. The ratchets themselves are perfect, though - I always keep them clean and dip them in oil every other week or so.

Here's the question - can I buy the short strap parts alone? The part I need is pictured below. I have googled around and can't find any.

TIA

I KNEW I was going to get ripped for that one. So much for being economical!

Can see your point but they are so cheap to buy anyway there’s probably no market for what you want, of course I could be wrong it did happen once I believe it was 15th may 1998

Buy a roll of webbing and an industrial sewing machine and make them, you could supply all the ti**t bars***ds/ yorkshiremen who need to save 93p a decade. A new sideline to add to your industrial empire.

What about safety labels?

how much you paying for 50mm wide straps

 

[mushnt grummmble]

Why not just tie a old strap on there like a pikey
Ffs new sets are only a 5er

In the days that everyone were using the ropehooks on trailers a short piece of chain was a good substitute for exactly what you’re after. You could slightly split open the hook and thread it into a link in a chain and then clamp it back together!! Opening it 10mm and clamping back will not weaken it as it’s been bent much worse when manufactured.

What about safety labels?

Can probably get some off eBay or AliBaba Although @smcapstick would probably cut / pick the stitching on old straps and recycle the safety labels

 

[smcapstick]

OK... OK... I'll just buy some new ratchets!
