Awning round wheel arch

[Chris_5076168]

Have read a few times about a wire figure of 8 for getting the awning to stay round the wheel arch. Cannot figure our what the actually is or what it is called. I could do with a couple but don't know what to ask for or where from. Help appreciated.

Thank you

It's a plastic or aluminium extrusion. If you look at it from the end it looks like a figure eight, but with a small channel at top and bottom. It operates by joining the awning cord of two pieces, the awning draught strip and the awning wheel cover.

Isabella include a figure of eight extrusion, about 60 cm long, with all their awnings. I don't have experience of other awning manufacturers but I would expect most of them to include this extrusion as well.
