Velcro strap wanted.

If you own an Argonavis you will know what I want.

I'm after the double-sided Velcro strap that is used to mount the Argonavis cradle (and the spaghetti mess of wires) to mounts . Not the self adhesive type but the plastic one about 2.5 cm wide and hooks on one side and pad on the other.

I don't know if you have Spotlight up your way Paul? But they do carry it.
Otherwise any good Haberdashery or Craft shop should.

You could also try data cable/electrical suppliers like Lawrence & Hanson or AWM for those double sided velcro straps used for tying up cable bundles.

Thanks guys. Now all I have to do is convince my lovely wife I don't need her to come with me to Spotlight

I was able to get exactly what you are looking for from Bunnings. 2m Velcro strap 2.5 cm wide with hooks on one side and pad on the other for about $12. Does a nice job of tying back the cables on my LX200.

For anyone looking for a comprehensive range of Velcro straps, I have purchased stuff from these guys:

My Riptie stuff came though in a couple of days from placing order.

Cheers
