My tent - which is ancient and possibly due for replacement, but which I'm quite attached to - has developed a problem for the first time in the 10 years I've owned it! It's an old Eurohike thingy and it looks like this:
One of the brass eyes that the ends of the poles fit into has disappeared, leaving an unprotected hole in the webbing that I think will rapidly deteriorate if left. Can these be bought new anywhere?

You might need to create a patch, with a new eyelet sewn-in, then sew the patch onto the tent.
Obviously, the whole area will need reproofing before using after repairing!
Hope this helps,
Dave

I have a kit for eyelets! Doubt they're brass but it come with a punch and die to remove the material and reverse the punch to expand and secure the eyelet.......you borrow the kit and have a few eyelets if you want them!

I used to have one of them. I bought it at a tool stall on the local market
Looks a bit like a pair of pliers with the die on one side and a revolving punch set on the other.....buggered if I know what happened to it
