On Saturday some of the guys at the comp were talking about trailer parts and spares, and this got me thinking. There is a world of knowledge on this forum, and we all share similar problems and obstacles, and for that matter fixes in our sport and in general. If we can establish a directory of suppliers we use, this might save a lot of time and frustration, as well as money for someone in need, especially if they are from out of town or traveling. I know the internet is useful, but you can also spend 2 days being pushed from pillar to post until you find the right answer to your dilemma.
The directory must be easy to use (not long winded) and the suppliers must be user friendly and willing to deal with the public.
These are the ones I use in Durban:
Bearings/Seals - Bearing Man - 11 Palmfield Rd Springfield Park - 031 582 9000 - All Bearing and seals
Trailer parts - Metaforge - 85 Chris Hani Dr (North Coast Rd) Braidene - 0861 71 81 93 - Leaf springs, trailer hitches, axles, rims, hubs, tail lights, bearing and seals etc
Webbing/Shackles - Multiquip - 2 Cedarfield Close Springfield Park - 031 579 4294 - Steel cable, nylon webbing, hand winches, D shackles, turnbuckles, lifting equipment etc

Good idea Chigger! Changed the name of this thread and moved to CLASSIFIEDS and stickied.

With regard to the recent repairs I had to do to Fat Girl
Bearing in mind it was at that time of year when most engineering companies and material suppliers are closed or closing.
These guys went the extra mile to help me get Fat Girl back on the water.
HJ Engineering - Devon Road, Pinetown - Richard - 0825217646
These guys made my shafts, are highly compentent with excellent workmanship, the even worked right through the night to get me my parts. There pricing is very fair. They also understand boats and boating very well.
Valley View Engineering - Crestholme - Neville - 0829737052
This guy has a really nice set up and can do all sorts of things including general engineering and stainless work, he offers a 24/7 service, collects and delivers. Even machined a spacer for me at 05h00 in the morning
I highly recomend both these companies.

Boat Hydraulics - Custom made rams - Jentan Marine (Antonie Smalberger). I got a good product and good service.

@Gary (lebaka)
You're wrong, that Mandy's number, Candy's number starts with 079 ... and Sandy is 072...
-
Lol Styx you are correct

From my ongoing boat build i wouldnt hesitate to recommend 2 companies...
Firstly Tomcat, their service and patience has been exceptional. Dave has gone above and beyond what i ever expected, always has time for questions and always willing to go the extra mile. The quality of their boat speaks for itself...
Secondly, Skiport Supply. Guys, for any and all of your skiboat needs please give Nick a shout. Awesome service, and all your skiboat needs under one roof!!!
-
Another really good company for all your trailer spares in Pinetown, cheaper than the ones mentioned and much better quality and service, Al-ko. They also have galvanized rims. They have everything for trailers, big trailer companies use them too.
-
Hope the KZN guys can help. I have looked all over Gauteng for these quick fastening buckles but the only available around here is an alloy and probably not a stainless spring. Don't think these will last long on/at the sea.
Aware that most these type things that they sell at the coast are made from stainless steel. Have Googled and seen that stainless steel ones are available in the USA and plenty of course also available made in China.
Please if you guys in Durban , or anybody in Cape Town or so see any like these in stainless steel, I am interested in 60 of these in SS. Will appreciate contact details of supplier and price indication.
Greatly appreciated!
-
Toppie Ill go past Multiquip and see if they stock them, if they don't I'm sure they will know where to get some.
-
Thank you most kindly Chigger!
Once needed stainless steel eyelets for my duck and only place I could get them and who imported to SA was at Feral Inflatables Durban. Rest were all brass coloured tin.
-
Toppie, I went past Multiquip, they do not stock SS fastening buckles and dont know of anyone who stocks them. What they did suggest as the next best alternative a 25mm fully SS ratchet strap @R94 ex, but 60 might be a bit heavy on the pocket.
I was also thinking I use the bog standard (Midas) alloy fasteners on my duck and have done for nearly 2 years, and they are yet to let me down, as long as I keep them slightly lubed with Q8 silicone spray, in fact I think the straps might perish or fray before the fastener stops working, but all it depends on the application I suppose?
-
Chigger, want to use them for bum and shoulder fighting harnesses so suppose they'll get saltwater or spray on them.
One gets plastic/nylon type quick-pull adjusters but don't think they are up to the task.
Will keep looking, thanks for your trouble.
-
No problem at all ....what about the black plastic webbing type, the type they use on back packs ...or is that what you are referring to as the plastic ones?
-
If any one is looking for Stainless steel work get hold of Mike from Cat skee Boats 078 828 8354. Hee sorted out a set of out rigger basses for me for Nereus at a very good price. he is based in Park Rynie he also does floatations and boat repairs..

If there is anyone looking to respray their Saltist reels you can try Kal Gard in Pinetown
Gun-Kote 16/2 is a range of coatings which are specially developed for the coating of steel ammunition boxes, mortars, cartridge cases and shells.
[/color]
[/color]The coating offers exceptional corrosion protection at a dry film thickness of 8 – 12 um (1000 hrs of salt spray). As the coating is so thin it penetrates into all laminations on boxes greatly improving corrosion resistance over conventional methods. When used on mortars and shells the problems of too thick a paint film causing rejects, becomes a thing of the past.

Hey guys, looking back to those buckles, Skiport in Durban now stock an s/s one, I bought 4 and they work, it is the pull tight type, not the rachet type
