buying white webbing??

[skybeergodd 0]

I'm doing a repair and need type 13 and type 8 webbing in white. Does anyone know where I can buy several yards of each. The only place I found with those sizes in white sell by the roll only and I don't need nearly that much. Aerostore, paragear and sunshine factory do not carry white. I want to keep the option of contacting manufactures as an absolute last resort. I have found trying to buy raw materials from manufacturers a HUGE nightmare.
Thanks for the help.

Try Ray Farrell at Action Air, he has all of the old Fliteline inventory. we built several white harnesses out of T7 and T8, not sure about T13 though.

PS: Happy new year all!!

Hi mick,

How you doing? Did you get the DVD that I sent to you?

I ask because I tried using the last known email addy for you and it bounced back.

So when you coming back to the good ole US of A?

Type 13, call jumpshack. No one else uses it.

My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto

Did you try calling these...

Bummer.

I guess their claim of being "Small Quantity Specialists" isn't quite ture... also, they quote prices by the roll or by the yard... guess their web-site is a bit out of date, might want to point that out to them.

What you describe was correct some time ago, but has since been fixed. In each major category of Webbing & Tape, the top of each list states "Price is per roll", each item is listed as priced by "Roll", and the only prices shown are by the roll. Only one lone item (1" black commercial tubular webbing) still shows the previous formatting.

I suspect a few folks pointed out to them that the previous format was confusing.

[ZigZagMarquis 8]

Wow. Some folks just need to argue about everything. Is your name Chuck?



Anyway, sorry, I was confused by the fact that they also qoute a price by the yard... for example...

... scroll down, near the bottom.

[safetyjim 5]

Hey, you're right. When you drill down to individual listings, it's still the same confusing format. That explains the "one" item in a category by itself.

No intent to argue, no matter what you might choose to assume. I thought they'd finally fixed it. Main categories yes, individual listings ...no.

sorry... was a bit testy this morning... car troubles prevented me from heading to the DZ to jump today...

Anyway... on topic: If anyone comes across a place where one can by webbing by the yard, other than ParaGear, please pass it on. Thanks.

you might try parachute equipment corp(paraequip.com). Warren usually will sell by the yard.
