Dunelm blind fixing

Sad but true Rosebery. It certainly didn't look as though you were when you have the bits in your hands. It still doesn't look too robust but who can argue with the insight of the Chinese designers - until the whole thing falls off the wall when you pull too hard. Must be why Chinese hoses prefer cu...

Dunelm blind fixing

Hi Paul, I have exactly the same problem - the bits don't appear to fit together. Nice idea from Rosebery but it doesn't work because the winding end doesn't turn if you put the plastic part (that fits into the tube) over the metal bit as per his/her diagram. I'll try to find out who the manufacture...
