I am on the search for tie down belts without hooks, but unfortunately it seems there is no
shop that sells them. Tried all kind of different hardware stores.
I want to tie down my cargo on my roof rack, but the hooks are always scratching somewhere. Back in Europe you can buy tie down belts with ratchet without hooks - is there something I am not aware of or have I just been unlucky at finding this product?

Suprercheat have them.
I've got 1/2 dozen of them, use them to strap stuff, MaxTrax etc. to the roof rack as
well as strapping down the 200l diesel tank into the tray of the ute.
Ratchet on one end, 2 - 3 meter long, blue in colour.

Try Andy Strapz. They are flat elastic straps about 6cm wide with velcro attachment.
I've carted stuff, including a 14ft folding boat, around the place attached to roof bars or roof racks using these and they're very effective. Once the straps are in place under tension the velcro strips have to slide across each other to come undone. They don't.
Designed mainly for motorbikes, they work
well for 4 wheels too.

or simply Google andy strapz
Good luck.

Ken - Velcro to hold loads in place against 110kmh wind and braking and cornering?? You gotta be joking, surely??
What else is in your recommendations for load restraint? Duct tape??
This sounds like something out of the backwoods of the U.S.
I could
well imagine the roasting I'd get from law enforcement if they spotted velcro holding my load in position.
However, perhaps they'd accept it as bona fide after seeing what some people use for load restraint - i.e - bits of string, mates hands, or nothing at all!
Cheers, Ron.

Don't knock something until you have tried it Ron. These Velcro straps are all I have ever used to hold my Oztent on the roof rack on my cruiser. Have never let me down, must admit I was a little sceptical at first but have been using them for 9 years now.
Cheers
Peter
