Force 4 does have dinghy bits though not as much as a dinghy only chandlery. LDC (i.e. RS) is now in Romsey and the chandlery barge up river at Bursledon is always worth a rummage if you want old fashioned or secondhand bits.

Why not e mail picture of your old cleats to harken , they will tell you what they are and then you could search e bay etc for others the same ,post in forums asking exactly what you seek , failing that they could tell you the replacement which you could google , and use google shopping to find best price , order online and recieve to your door without trolling the countrside , cant see how the above is a retrograde step in buying dinghy equipment , no matter how much stock a chandler could hold , they could never have the resource at your finger tips now ,

www.pinbax.com

high stock levels, good service, variety of manufacturers, sensible advice

store in northampton, or use www

note that many www suppliers do not hold stock, but want to take your credit card details!

I hope you don't mind me asking this question here. I've been developing an idea to help find sellers for obscure items that the local chandler doesn't stock. I have a website to which you can upload a photo along with keywords about the item you seek. Suitable sellers that wish to respond make a comment on the site and that enables you to contact them should you wish to do so. Can I ask if this is something you would find useful?

Personally I'd just post it on the boats and bits wanted section of the cvrda forum where all the old boat folks hang out. Those who have one but weren't actually trying to sell it usually see any request there too.
