Zipper replacement in SA

UDA Upholstry Distributors Australia.... just google them. They should have a counter sales office in Adeliade. You can also buy by credit card over the phone.

You could try Sarmajor canvas at St.Mary's. They replaced a heavy duty zipper on my tourer tent recently. Cheers Phil.

If you just want to buy a zip, I think Nolan Shannon at Ridleyton would be the go.

Check that you actually need a new zip before replacing it.
Usually what happens is the actual slider wears and doesn't force the zipper halves together correctly so they don't lock. They are made of diecast so are relatively soft and wear isn't obvious.
If the zipper seems to work ok but then comes apart try twisting the slider sideways out of square with the zip as you do it up. If this fixes the problem then replace the slider and you will find it is ok.
Another temp fix is to remove the slider and place it on a hard surface and GENTLY tap the sides where the zip goes closer together. Only a short term fix though.

Hi Wizza,
Wormald Canvas at 4 Archimedes place, Golden Grove, 82887788,
They have always done a good job for me, they can supply only or fit the zip for you.
UDA on Cross Keys Road, Cavan are suppliers only, and they are good people to deal with also.
Regards Bob
