I'm making a roof rack at work out of stainless, but don't want to use those plastic pool cue holders for the front rack. Anybody know where I can get my hands on a set of the metal clip type?
thanx

Any hardware store would have them. I was able to find some Stanless one time!! I have had them for about 10 years now.
They use them for hanging brooms and stuff.
Another trick a friend showed me is to put some heat shrink tube on them, It melts right to it and won't strach the rods! Even metal ones will last for about 5 years, with a little WD40 from time to time.
Good luck

thanks joe-I was gonna follow a suggestion and use some of that rubberized coating dip.

Yeah, I guess you could say I like roof racks:hee:.......I dipped mine three times, don't forget the spring.

Goose: was that a catch and release?

how old were you, goose? and is that deer's atteenna (correct my sp, pls?) being ribboned with red x-mas string?

They have everything in the world.
I use them at work all the time for stock, tools, elctronics etc...

Try searching "spring clips", I just saw some on page 2814.

Good Luck..


Nice deer goose !!!
