Trade members on here:

Paul Tilley
Ribraff

Also look for a member called:

Little J

Other ideas:

Henshaws

or

Contact Mike at osprey ribs and see what he can do, if it's a nice rib then might as well get it back looking original and it will be worth the traveling

Yes mate put my hand through the tube quite literally put my hand on the tube when I stood up. Its Right on the join to the front of the boat so very difficult to repair.

Eurocraft make Osprey's tubes, but Henshaws and RIBcraft are in Somerset are much more local to you and will make to any pattern.

Osprey use SIT ltd theses days, hopefully that's where I'll be taking my SR4 for re-tubing when the console n jockey seats have been fitted by Mike at Osprey

I wouldn't! not for tubes. I lthink Mikes is a superb boat builder and refurbisher but he doesn't touch toobs as such and only deals with SIT who aren't cheap.

If your looking for a good deal I'ed talk nice to Paul Tilley or Ed (rRbraff) both in Dartnouth Christopher on this forum owns Henshaws and they are very good and I think in Wincanton.

Stanley Little J (my lad ) fits and repairs tubes but he gets them made by Paul Tilley I know he has two retobs to do for me and one for another customer might be worth calling him and see if he can get a bit of bulk discount for you.

Please give your Farther ny regards and tell him I've been to the Bond
