AB Slings, where are you?

Anyone know of any decent/well stocked Fitness Equipment Stores in Ireland? Specifically, I'm looking for a pair of AB Slings.

I was in Dublin over the weekend and couldn't find them anywhere.

Eleverys/Champion Sports/Lifestyle/Argos/Arnotts sports store don't stock them. Also tried Weightlifting supplement shops in Ilac centre and under/off moore street but the guys there had no ideas.

Theres some on eBAY etc but I don't fancy paying twice their value in shipping. Tried a multitude of other sites but no luck

Any ideas? Thanks in Advance

EDIT: Even better if any MacGyvers out there have any tips to DIY a set or equivalent would be great. I have a chin up bar and need a little more height in order to get a full extension for hanging leg raises.

Kitchen towels!

Ever see commercial assists like these going for a hundred dollars a pop? Oh, c'mon! Slip a couple of lengths of webbing through a couple rolls of paper towels, and you can do leg raises 'til you're blue in the face. You can tie the ends of the webbing directly to the bar with slip knots or to large S-hooks to hook around your chinup bar for quick removal.

Also if you got some large towels you can tie knots in the ends (in the narrow end), but leaving a hole to pass rope or adjustable webbing through it. Then these will form mini hammocks when hung up. I have been planning on making one and sticking a football in it for pullups.

Irish lifting do them. http://www.irish-lifting.com/product_info_equipment.php?products_id=1
