Source for strong "S" hooks?
Having put away our swing seat for the winter, got it out today and discovered one of the S hooks which holds the chain to the chair is missing.
Size is about 5cm top to bottom, probably about 3-4mm guage metal. Obviously needs to be quite strong to take the shared weight of 3 people plus the chair. Any good sources? Ebay has some that might be work a punt, but other reliable sources gratefully received! Matt |

Or are there some others which I've not discovered at Screwfix? |

As butchers still use them the real ones must exist somewhere. Andy |
