Where do people buy it now. Used most all mine recently for a certain project  but need a few more bits. Got the last lot here, but they haven't been selling it for a while: www.helitape.co.uk/It seems to be available on e-bay but not sure if its the same stuff. Any recommendations anyone? |

Tweeks do the 3m version of it 100mm x 1mt £13.00, not cheap I know  |

Might want to check out this lot as well: www.invisiframe.co.uk/ Not cheap also but it is meant to be stronger than helitape and the kits are made specifically for you bike model. Might be a bit of a faff to fit but it really does protect all the vulnerable parts of the frame. Gareth's had it fitted by the bloke who produces the kits-think it cost him £20-the only problem is it's down Shrewsbury way. |

I bought some of this stuff in the end. It seems much thicker and tougher than Heli Tape but time will tell: www.vikingtapes.co.uk/c-169-3m-8671hs-polyurethane-protective-tape.aspx#.UflpkdK1H6dAlready done nearly all of the bike with Heli Tape, so will try this in a few spots I missed and see how it goes. Possibly the same 3M stuff that Tweeks are selling but I got 3 metres of 75mm wide for 25 quid including shipping. Should keep me going for a while. |

I used invisiframe which is 3m stuff and prob the same as what Trailrash suggested. When I was at Invisi I was advised helitape goes yellow from the sun whereas the 3m stuff is UV protected so doesn't suffer. Not sure if it's true but mine's covered in 3m stuff |

I'd be willing to bet that the Invisiframe stuff is just the cut to shape / marked up version of what I just bought. Seems to work better on gloss paint than matt finish tho.
