Our Ansfold had 4" wide self-adhesive plastic tape, reinforced with nylon strands, stuck over the hinge axes of the folding sides. We've been making rather half-hearted attempts to find a replacement for this, but all we are offered is 2" Duct tape (sometimes called Duck- or Gaffa-tape). So that's what we'll use, at least initially.
Anybody know what this originally was? As our 'van had been re-hinged throughout at least once, & done partially several times judging from the number of hinge-rivet holes, we've no idea what is correct.
Thanks,
Steve
The Slightly Delayed Big 60th+1 Birthday Party of the Portafold (12th International Portafold & Ansfold Gathering) (i.e. 2021)
Help us set a new world record at the huge 60th+1 birthday party!
Ironically, the current record is 59 Portafolds and Ansfolds (we set that at the 2016 Newbury Retrofestival), so we want to smash this by getting well over 70 there this time. We have a lovely area that will take that number of caravans and the show itself is a fantastic event that will not disappoint. There really is something for the whole family.
So put the dates 13th, 14th, 15th of August 2021 in your diary now and get those dates booked off work early. Be part of a record breaking event that will go down in history.
Show Address: Newbury Showground, Priors Court, Hermitage, Thatcham, West Berkshire, RG18 9QZ
Don't book direct with the show organisers, just contact me (07771544419) to get your pitch saved.

As our walls (below the shelf line) have been painted in pastel yellow bathroom and kitchen paint I've got some yellow duct/duck/gaffa tape. It's only 2" wide but there might be wider available, and as I haven't actually got round to fitting it yet I can't tell you if it's any good but I would say it's as close as you're going to get to the original.

Hinge tape
Yes, we ended up using 2" gaffer-tape on ours because we couldn't find anything better. It's been fine.
