devon 4x4 were selling them in billing and i wanted a pair but id already spent up with southdown

its the grp ones you want not the steel ones, cos when steel bends its stays that shape but the grp ones flex back to their original shape (or so im told on both counts!)

yep was thinking of the GRP type
  just seen too types a 50mm and a 38mm
i know the 50 mm will be stronger but is it really nessesary.

it depends

they were 40 quid each i think from devon (i could be and probably be wrong)

it depends on what kind of terrain you are likely to use them

if its for rock climbing then the bigger ones would suffice but if its for laying down to drive over boggy ground then i imagine the smaller be better

who knows

but then again its prob easier to avoid the situation where you need em in the first place ;)

heheh

38mm is fine for general use... I have a set that thick.

The 50mm type are physically quite heavy, but are stronger.

As Dyf says, Devon 4x4 are as good a place as any to get them...

llama 4x4 were in billing selling bridging ladders for 20 or 25 quid each i think

sufficient in the short term but as i have said before steel doesnt have the brains to go back into shape
