B&Q used to do some, not the best on the market but I've used them for allsorts and they seemed OK.
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

Get proper car ones with either a fabric or metal ringed fabric loop for the tyres. A decent set will last a very long time...

I'd go with Machine Mart or maybe a caravan supplies type place, failing that maybe one of those tool hire type places

If you can't get hold of a car specific set, just a basic truck ratchet strap will work.
Just make a loop, twist it 180° then put the loop over the tyre. Shuffle it so the twist is in the middle of the tyre as you tighten it up and it
works just as well as car specific ones.
Screwfix do a car specific set for £50 Screwfix do a car specific
set for £50 anyway or single 8m straps for £20

I'm using the standard Honda engine management.
I was looking at omex or emerald but the whole donor car only cost me £900 so I thought I'd save some money and use what came with it.

I've got some you could borrow, but I'm in Bristol and I guess there aint enough time to post them to ya?
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

I got mine from Costco - assuming you have one close, are a store member and they have them on sale at the moment.
