In Response To: Seeking: Black Nylon Hooks *Pic* (Robert)

: I'm usually pretty good at bird doggin' these items on the web but, I can't
: seem to find any black nylon hooks to replace the chrome one pictured
: below for the paddle park. I was hoping to keep all the deck fittings in
: black. Does anybody know where I can find one?

: Thanks ... Robert

Robert:

Sounds like you may have some more direct leads tomorrow, but if they don't pan out, I'd suggest one of two options: 1) Buy one of the wider/flatter plastic snap hooks from Ted's Seattle Fabric Store suggestion and Dremel off the loop base and spring clip, then drill and countersink a mounting hole on the backside, or 2) Do a Pygmy kit trick, and cut one of the commonly available plastic padeyes in half, leaving a hook with one screw hole. Though these solutions could have the downside of being susceptible to rotating - with only one mounting hole - I wouldn't think it'd be a problem with the light loading a paddle park would present.
