The shops that did that stuff have long ago closed in the city centre , the lifting supplies folks are the 'part-timers I went torubberrat wrote:I see 'Lifting Gear Supplies' in Anstey lane.
Do you have a good marina and chandlery business near you? I'm sure I used to use one in Leicester city center years ago. They may have stainless lifting eyes.
My concern with 12mm stainless is that they are un-rated , the rated 12mm are only a third of a tonne (but I think they work on a 5-1 breaking strain) or am I just being paranoid
