Natal Caravans & Marine or Burquip should have, NCM i think are the best price wise.

Thanks Umpa, NCM only do the plastic ones and Burquip don't sell them. I found them on wantitall website.A bit expensive but I'm going to get them anyway. Two pairs with "bras" around R2400.

My son advised me to do a "Hellopeter" check on Wantitall . Phew I can't believe they are still in business. Going to give the cheap plastic ones a try on both jetski trailers.

Sorry, thought they might have the stainless steel ones. try Racetech Yamaha, speak to Chez think he might also stock. Yep, we have to be careful of online scams these days.

Wantitall are an absolute shocker... Generally, at least double the price of anywhere else.
