Maybe lacking google-fu here. Zip bust on wife's sleeping bag 10 days before a trip away

Lancashire Sports Repair and Scottish Mountain gear will pop another slider on for £31 inc postage both ways and I'll have it back in 2-4 weeks.

They won't pop a slider in the post, though, and I can't find anyone online who specifies a size "5 N" YKK reversible slider.

I ordered a size 5 from an ebay seller, cos no-one mentions the letter. What arrived was a 5M and it nearly fits, but doesn't work.

Anyone know of a supplier who might be able to help?

Thanks!

I had a busted zip on a trip once, I put my sleeping bag inside the liner bag and that kept it all together. It wasn't ideal but it did work and got me out of a fix.

I have used these guys a lot for bits and bobs, not sure this is the right zip though.

Have you got an Alpkit store near you? They seem to have repair stations in them that do that kind of thing.
