What's that pressed steel stuff that joins trusses together called ?
I want 8 bits as I have modified my trusses for more headroom in the garage, what are they called and where can I get them ?
Looked at screwfix and drawn a blank 
Cheers Mark

Gang nail connector or plate.
Screwfix do stock some basic ones, other than that I guess it's a truss manufacturer.

An alternative is ply nailed both sides. manufacturers use nail plated cos they gan be pressed into place with a hydraulic press quickly - they do a
whole truss at once.
Ply gussets are just as viable all you do is make them 3 times the size out of 6mm ply.
IIRC TRADA have details on their site

You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a
