Replacement Clips for Bikini Tops

Anyone know where to find replacement clips for bikini tops? I've looked online and at REI and cannot find the 1 inch size that matches what is sewn to the straps on the top.

are you looking for the ones that attach to the roll bar corners? if so - the "seat belts" on a common shopping cart should be the same size - as long as its the slip one you can swap it out - if its the "anchor" or sewn on one.... well thats tougher - but thats always been my source when i break a tooth on a clip.... check it out - should work... hope it helps! and welcome to Jeepz!

Thanks for the info, I checked it out and it's close, but no cigar, the middle piece on those where I went had "wings" on them, my clips middle piece seems to be different enough to not work...I'll check out a couple more places.

REI/EMS would be the first stores in my book as well, but the Army Surplus store comes in a very close third!

Check out a Hobby Lobby? A place with all sorts of fabrics, zippers etc.

hmmm..... guess different makers and all.... thought i'd help - worked for me but then i cant even remember who made my top.... just checked and the ones i have match up - maybe take one of your good clips and "go shopping" - not that i'm advocating stealing but most people take the whole cart .. not just the useless belt.... just my $.02

But think of the cargo cages you could fab out of the rest of the cart.......

Channel 6 news at eleven........

Tonights top story, Walmart reporting record quarterly losses this week, executives tell the media the fall was caused by a 27% net profit loss. This suplimentary income went to replacing nearly two and a half million shopping carts nationwide a spokesman for the retail giant stated............

In an unrelated story, a man driving a late model Jeep Wrangler was arrested this afternoon after fleeing from police accross 2 counties. Detective C.J. Bestop says the chase began when police just wanted to question the man as to why he had half of the Portland Zoo caged to the roof of his SUV.
