hi all ! just wondering if there was an iva friendly alternative to using p clips for securing the brake pipe alongside the transmission tunnel ? p clips just seem so bulky and theres not much room . ive been looking at some small plastic clips which the pipe just clips into but dont know if they would pass iva ?they are the type of clips lots of tintops use if thats any help !

This the easiest type to use most garages use then for MOT repairs, fine for IVA & MOT. You can also get a double version and one that holds a brake pipe and a fuel pipe.

Be aware some OEM type brake pipe clips are for plastic coated pipe which has a slightly larger diameter, uncoated copper/kunifer/bundy pipe rattles about in them.
