Ideally looking for somewhere I can just pop in and purchase it. I'm in Slough, Berkshire.

If not any recommended online traders? I need it for reducing vibrations.

SoggyCornFlakes · May 6th, 2006, 05:13 AM

I'd have thought somewhere like Staples might do it

SoggyCornFlakes · May 6th, 2006, 05:14 AM

or velvet tape from John Lewis

Root Ginger · May 15th, 2006, 09:04 AM

Thank you very much.

Sorry!

damn you and your filthy mind Pappi, beat me too it.

Can you recommend a particular line on the under ground for frottage ?

dietcokeplease · May 15th, 2006, 01:17 PM

Doesn't matter which line, just get in on the action at rush hour at one of the mainline tube stops. Si, are you the guy that got arrested for unzipping women on the tube?

Swiss Frottage? Jubillee Line mate!

DIY stores sell rolls of velcro, just buy a length of the soft side which is sticky backed too. My dash board is full of it.

Root Ginger · May 15th, 2006, 02:33 PM

Did think of that Griffer just wanted to use the proper stuff that's all

I have unfortunately been the victim of the odd grope on the underground and I find busy night clubs are always good to

feenster · May 16th, 2006, 12:46 PM

Would this stuff do the trick?:
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/sea/...t+tape&x=0&y=0

They also sell Flashing Tape which you can use for sound deadening - it's just like Dynamat etc, but a bit thinner:
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...25426&ts=83456

Hope that helps. I'm wanting to do the same, so i'd be interested to know if the felt tape is the right stuff.

No that's a totally different product you can get it most places like B&Q, Homebase etc.

My car is already fully dynomat'd. I think it'd be a pain to use such a narrow tape on the MINI as most of the areas you need to cover are large and wide. Possibly good for the odd little bits.

Root Ginger · May 16th, 2006, 05:07 PM

Found the part number on RealOEM.

Well, it was the felt tape I was really enquiring about - I know you can get the Flashing Tape elsewhere.

How much does the felt tape cost from the dealer?

Matt

Root Ginger · May 16th, 2006, 06:13 PM

I'll find out tomorrow...

Root Ginger · May 17th, 2006, 09:19 AM

OK, are you ready for this?

Got a price this morning.

Ready?

Are you sure?

What do you think it'll be???

Have a guess!

31p

Yes that's right 31p inc VAT for a roll of felt tape. Can't say fairer than that

feenster · May 17th, 2006, 11:59 AM

Hehe! How long is the roll? Not just a few cm I hope
