Default Velcro?

Where can I get some for holding interior parts.
Must be very aggressive and not the wimpy West Marine/Boat US stuff.

They make a plastic velcro now. It is STRONG stuff. Look for it at West Marine, Boater's World, and maybe even Home Depot. I think it only comes in strips, but it can hold GPS, radio, etc, etc. It is kind of a clear/white color, and comes in a blister pack.

Walmart has also started handling it in their crafts or sewing departments...... It is available from 1/2" to 2 or 3" in in width & sew on or glue on types. .

There are even different types of velcro. The hook and loop type is the most common one. However there is also a mushroom type that is supposed to be incredibly strong. Maybe you can find some more info and suppliers on the 3-M web site.
