You might as well go to stoneleigh there will be loads of choice there and you can meet all the builders

See you there Gordon

I looked around, the cheapest I found stainless ones with rubber linings, for approx. 5mm dia brake pipe was £15.29 +VAT and postage. Price is for 25.

Plain steel ones ar £18.67 +VAT & postage for 50

Anyone know of a cheaper source?

One of the suppliers i've used are pretty good for P-clips tie wraps and tie wrap holders.

I got all my terminals from them too,best prices all round.

for stainless P-clips i used steves stainless,he's usually at stoneleigh.

Anything wrong with plastic 'P' clips?
I've used them for brake and fuel pipes, spaced every 150mm. They're dirt cheap, do the job well IMHO.

Cheers

nick205,

I used plastic (from maplin) spaced @ 6in (150mm) for both fuel line and brakes too.

bigger electrical merchants ask for pyro clips in red or orange metal plastic coated

Try maplins , i bourght 50 nylon p clips a few weeks ago for about 3 quid

Its a good idea when making fuel and brake pipes up to slip some off cuts of plastic tube over the pipe to protect it where it is clipped to te chassis before flairing the ends.

just tried to do my fuel line this morning, the clips are the wrong bastard size?!?!?! aaaaaaghhhhh...

what a waste of time...
