most suppliers sell them. paperlinx, amari etc etc
that looks like a large one, but comes in small medium and large.
you have to buy in bags of 100-250 male or female locator. -

cheers all, actually nicked that image off the web as it was close to what I saw yesterday up a ladder in the wind and rain!
Got samples coming but some of the measurments don’t ring true.

Simplefix are the ones we always have problems with after a couple of years. From my understanding the snapfix ones are ‘UV resistant’ so dont split. The simplefix cups seem to give up after about 3 years.
We have drawers full of male parts of simplefix coz they dont sell the females parts (buckets) seperately.
Each time we have a customer with one letter thats fallen off, we always give him a quote to replace them on all letters, because we can pretty much guarantee we will be back in a couple of months if one has goneAnyone else have the same issues?

seems the case here too

Chris,
They look very similar to the ones I used to buy from Amari, unfortunately I don’t have any to look at to compare. From memory the ones I had were at least that size.

got a pdf of the tradefix ones, just not quite right
-
OK, so it turns out Simplefix have gone now and Snapfix have taken over the assets. Simplefix products are discontinued.
The tradefix ones look like they will fit but there is a nads difference that’s why they are splitting.
Thanks for all your help, if anyone has any old cups keep hold of them. Going to have to bond new ones on to make sure now
