Have you been up a ladder and had a good poke around to try and see what has happened and if it looks like the part can be replaced? You may have to take the awning off the wall to have a look. Then I would phone one the many awning spares people on Google and seek advice. You might get a friendly guy who tells you exactly what you need and even a suggestion as to where you can get one. dl |
If the actual cloth needs replacing/ repair ~ I could probably do it
(Sail/cover maker) I'm in Seaford, just down the road :) But it sounds mechanical ~ shed loads awning/blind companies out there |
Thanks for both the above replies.
The canvas is ok thanks. The part that needs replacing has completely come of the awning so I know exactly what it is, but no idea what it is call. It is held on with a metal pin, but as it is made of plastic it has become brittle over the last 13 years and eventually snapped off. I'll try Google and local caravan firm |
Those plastic metal pins always cause problems :rolleyes:

http://www.johnscross.co.uk/products...winch-eye.html It slots onto the winch and held in place with a metal pin, the winding handle then clips in. Unfortunately the above one slots on a winch which has a hexagonal head while my winch has a round head. |
Surely Hillarys can supply that or tell you where to get it? dl

Looks like I'll have to hope I can adapt another winding eye or, or replace the winch and hope that is a straight swap. |
