Camper Shell Clamps

Can someone point me towards a supplier and the right clamps to mount a camper shell to my long fleet truck? I've tried sourcing them over here in the UK with no luck and its now becoming critical as I need to get the thing mounted on the truck for our house move. Not sure what type to buy. The supplier needs to be happy to ship internationally. I guess I probably need maybe three per side so six in total. Its a fibreglass top.

Thanks

Re: Camper Shell Clamps

4 inch "C" clamps will work fine maybe smaller like 3 inch ones. You hardware -housing supply store should have them. leer is a major soruce for camper tops and flush lids and the like, you might be able to find something there

That is what I have always used too.

Looks like the ones that were holding on the camper shell on my '71 when I bought it. My camper shell is an aluminum one.
