I love ratchet straps, but I can’t seem to find any extra-short ones. I have two anchor points about 6-8 inches apart that have a slight obstruction between them (so not a straight line).
Ideally I would find some ratchets with a compact hook profile, and extra short portion of strap between the hook and ratchet. But also perhaps some kind of hook on a threaded rod and a coupling system that allows for slight bends?
It needs to be a removable solution, but it doesn’t have to be quick or easy to remove. In fact a lockable or tool-neccesary solution would be slightly ideal.
Any ideas?
Edit: I’m trying to clamp a camper shell to a truck bed. I’d like to keep the bed liner, which means I can’t use use the bed rails w/o cutting 4 holes into the liner. This leaves the 4 bed anchor points on each corner. Based off current responses, I’m probably looking at some rope system.
A Trucker’s Hitch may be useful. It’s a knot that’s used to tighten loads.

I immediately thought of this.
