Where would I buy loose mooring rings from? Also what would you use to stick them to into stone for instance?

These moorings will stay there so was thinking more of traditional rings. I suppose some sort of epoxy cement would secure it in the hole.

One approach is to use those nappy pin piling hooks and cut the hook end off then chemical anchor to fix the straight part in the hole. that's what CRT/nbta have been using in East London where a few mooring points have appeared recently on towpath concrete edges.

Kango to drill the holes and Chemical anchors to hold them in place. Years ago someone I know in London used to carry the kit on his narrow boat and would fix a 10mm bolt into the coping stones then screw an eye onto it. This meant he could moor anywhere even in Regents Park  |

He is referring to bonded resin and installing threaded studs into solid substrates. Screwfix does the gear. If you used M12 studs do four of them a triangle at each end like spring lines. Screw M12 collared eye nuts onto the studs. www.screwfix.com/p/rawlplug-r-kem11-175-kit-styrene-free-polyester-resin-175ml/4100rM12 might be a bit girly but if done right and boat was securely strapped in using ratchet straps it might be okay ? Probably better to make up a thick steel plate and fix it down onto 4 studs then separately weld an eye onto the plate. |

Are you allowed to drill into these stones?

Sounds complicated. I was just thinking of using rings like crt. Drilling one hole and then gluing the shaft in.

Thanks for the information, again it seems overly complicated exspensive. As I’ve said, I was thinking along the lines that crt do it with maybe an expoxy cement to help hold the ring in place. |

Be careful asking CRT to install mooring rings.
I have a suspicion this could be a precursor to charging for a service.
Guilty as always of hypersystemising.
