    Thanks - but what do I ask the man behind the counter for?

    I have already tried Goodwins and TJ O Mahonys (online) to no avail. I went searching through everything galvanised as I didn't know what to call it :D

    Go into woodies and where the rope and chain section is they have loads of these galvanised fittings, you should get what you want there.

    I couldn’t see it there.

    But quick google tells me it’s a Galvanised Staple On Plate

    I didn't buy that exact one but one with a hook rather than a U shaped loop in Woodies a few days ago, as said above all that stuff is where the rope/chain is, lots of options of strange stuff!

    'Eliza Tinsley' is probably the most commonly stocked brand of this sort of hardware that I know of around Ireland, you're looking for this piece:

    Might be able to get a slightly bigger version around 2" square in stainless if it's any good?

    I'll know for sure on Tuesday morning,

    If I can get you one; I'll send it for €7 to cover postage

    Hey LenWoods. Thanks for the offer. I have been trying to log-in to boards since your offer but was constantly getting a "503 Error".

    A mate of mine gave me a "Galvanised Staple On Plate" over the weekend so I'm sorted for the moment. Thanks all for your help.
