Double tape for Telrad base?

[emadmoussa]

I previously removed the sticky bits on my Telrad base for DIY reasons, now since I don't have 'that' scope anymore , it'll be ideal if I could find similar sticky bits like the ones originally came with the base? Or shall I just go ahead and get a new base?

You can buy the tape here bit of a rip off price though!

rip-off indeed...I'm just looking for some DIY alternative.

I just duct taped the base to the OTA, its NEVER moved !!!

This double sided tape from Halfords works well, similar price to the official replacement pads but 4mtrs instead of just a few centimetres.

Trouble is you soon find loads of other things to do with it and be you know it the whole roll has gone!

I've been swapping my Telrad between two scopes of different tube diameters using a single base with strips of strong magnetic material cut from an A4 sized sheet. Works fine.
