Hi Guys

What size of P clips do you use for copper brake pipe and copper fuel pipe, I will be using the rubber covered type. I know wot you lot will be thinking ( why dosent he just measure them!!!! ) and my answer is i am working in Nigeria at the moment ( yes......NIGERIA......sh#t hole of a place ) Picking my MNR up when i return home in 2 wks time and want to get some stuff ordered online. Thanks guys

i think they are about a size 8, possibly a 7.

Better to use proper OEM style clips rather than P Clips also I would suggest you use Kunifer brake pipe rather than copper.

I used these from RS Components.

Ed, Yes this is the type i will be using. I have found them on a website www.shop4fastners.co.uk and seem very cheap. I am going to order 5mm for the brake lines and 7mm for the fuel lines unless anybody tells me different.

Cheers, Baz

Without going to a dealer, where would i be able to buy OEM style clips? the p-clips i am looking at are only £3.49 + vat for 20, which i thought is very cheap compared to some kitcar related shops where they are about £7 for 5!!

Check out places like Car Builders Solutions, Europa Spares , Demon Tweeks etc or wait until you can get to a show like Stoneleigh , there will be loads of useful stuff there. Your local motor factors will probably be able to help.

Contact Automec - www.atomic.co.uk, they should have the right clips. It might be cheaper to buy a complete car kit from them, telling them what vehicle your callipers and rear axle are from and then shortening the front to rear pipe

Also for clips try Merlin Motorsport, Trident Racing Supplies or Raceparts

Sorry about my auto spell checker, try www.automec.co.uk (not atomic!)
