Footman loops 2 1/2" between centres
Gents, does anyone have a source for these footman loops 2 1/2" between centres as used on a carrier rear for securing the tarp.
Kevin.

No mate but I have one for a pattern, not sure what SWG they are made from but I considered making some.
I know you can get jeep ones by the bag full. Let me know if you find a source

A simple Google search reveals hundreds of places to find footman loops.
Look on eBay etc. I believe what you require is what is referred to as a " 2" footman loop " as the size is determined by the strap and not by the center to center bolt distance .

For what it's worth, McMaster lists 1" (webbing) loops as being 2-1/8" c-c and 1-1/2" nominal as 2-5/8" c-c.
http://www.mcmaster.com/#footman's-loops/=v3dy1d They are available either zinc plated or stainless. Last edited by Grant Bowker; 19-12-14 at 19:44.

Some are cast from Brass/bronze while others are simply bent roundstock. I could not find my spares when I was finishing my carrier up so I made the last one up from the bent roundstock...took about 10 minutes.

Chris, if you buy them from the hundreds listed on ebay you will find the mounting holes are way to small!, you need a 1/4" or 5/16" can't remember which mounting hole, pretty unique.
The ones I took off a 42 carrier were bronze/brass, can make some easy enough but just thought someone might have some kicking about.

I've been refused by McMaster as well, but that has already been discussed. I included the link to provide an image with dimensions to link webbing size to hole spacing.
We can hope that one day they'll relax a bit since they seem to have an amazing variety of product listed.
