6mm sail slugs - where to buy?

[BrindiCruiser]

I bought some 9mm sail slugs, but I actually need some 6mm sail slugs to connect random tarps to sail track on my jayco.

Anyone know where I can get the 6mm sail slugs?

I just had a look through the catalogue of the company who I would most expect to make them (PNP) and 9mm is the smallest they do. Most smaller use a boltrope from memory.

I have a feeling that 9mm might be the smallest. I saw some links n other forums to a custom product in Qld, but I reckon sewing or glueing rope into the tarp will be an easier and cheap option than chasing down the fella who was making the 6mm slugs.

The proper kedarcord - which I think is like boltrope- is pretty expensive $10 per metre at a local store.

I've got some spare 6mm slugs - I send them down in the mail. Not sure your sewing skills are quite up to it

pretty confident that my wife's sewing skills and mother-in-law are top notch. But if push comes to shove, I can always call in my good old mum or maybe even my brother. I remember he sewed a lot of stuffed snakes for a school fete or something.

I'm not sure that 6mm sail slugs are made but it's worth trying
Bias Boating (www.biasboating.com.au)
Whitworths
Discount Seamart in Elizabeth Street Melbourne 
Any sailmaker
I have no affilliation to any of them but know that this is where we go when we need fittings for the boat/s

Maybe even canvas product manufacturers who do annexes etc

Cheers,

Bias boating and whitworthw don't have them. Thanks for idea though.

I did come across this product, which might fit the bill. The manufacturer will sell them to me in small quantities (dozen) for about $15 delivered.
