Good source for Fiamma cycle rack spares? (1 Viewer)

[Sixty-nine Chevy]

Hi. Does anyone know of a good UK source for Fiamma cycle rack spares? The fastener that holds one of the ‘arms’ to the main part of my bike rack has just pulled the bolt through the plastic of the fastener. Very hard to track down on the websites that I have searched so far. Thanks!

Mine was even dafter, I leave the handbrake off our van when it's parked up on it's dedicated parking pad. Since being there it's depressed the ground slightly where the wheels habitually sit. Before leaving for France I loaded the bikes the night before, and then eased her back onto it's parking area, AND remembered the van was now a bit longer, locked up, put on the steering wheel, seat, and clutch claw deadlocks and went to bed. Overnight, the van rolled backwards and resumed it's normal parking grooves on it's parking pad, rolling back till the fence, and bike rest stopped it's progress, didn't even notice what had happened till we were in France, one shot squarely through me own foot there .
We did get some damage to the van in France, but were amazingly lucky. Whilst negotiating the big river crossing bridge in Rouen as we were entering the roundabout on the south side I was aware a large tipper lorry was squeezing me further and further over towards the temporary concrete lane dividers. I had nowhere to go, and then there was this terrible grating sound as the inevitable happened and I made contact with said concrete wall. The lorry turned off before me, and was gone. I was to scared to get out and look at the damage,instead deciding to push on and look later. When we reached our first Air'e at Nonancourt and I couldn't put off the moment any longer. Mrs BBF in tow we walked to rear end to face the truth. Well we looked, and looked, and for the life of us could find no damage . I gave it no more thought, and the light was failing fast.
The next morning in better light, I re-looked, and now could see the damage, I had literally taken the paint of the ply section that makes up the garage floor to wall joint, and a tiny scrape in under side of bumper/ light cluster holder.
I can only attribute this stroke of luck too adding an extra couple of PSI to the rear air bags before we left home to compensate for the full load on board, doing this must have almost lifted the @rse end clear of the concrete sections,but from the noise I was expecting to find half the back end dragging on the floor.

I've bought a couple of new locking straps for ours on amazon and there seemed to be a wide range of spares. I found it easiest to look up the fiamma part number then search on that, if it helps. Is this the bit? Amazon product ASIN B000YRPK0O

Thanks but not the right parts for my rack.

 

[Sixty-nine Chevy]

Thanks to all for the suggestions. Looks like the broken bit is not available by itself, but I will have to buy a whole new 'arm'.

Just looked at your picture again. Could you araldite a washer, with the hole slightly bigger than the bolt, on the back of it, then araldite the bolt head to the washer?

The other end has a sort of rubber strap that goes around some part of the bike.

Yep, I was thinking along those lines myself.

Thanks but I don't think they would fit our rack/bikes combination.
