Fuel Hose Clips- where from?
James - 7/6/06 at 02:42 PM

Since reading that jubilee clips are not SVA proof when used on fuel, where can I get 10-15 of these for a good price?

SVA proof fuel hose clips

The ever optimistic Car Builder Solutions want £2.50 for 4!!!!

They need to be 15mm or bigger.

Thanks,
James

Tried someone like RS? Mind you they will probably want to sell you about 100 or 1000.

Jubilee clips aren't considered to seal properly as they don't pull all the way round- they leave a kink under the bolt area.

Various people have had these as fail points at SVA IIRC.

Cheers,
James

Nice shiny clips like that look well worth 62p each to me - especially if they do the job properly

Short arms and deep pockets - that's your trouble

Edit, just noticed postage is an extra £3.75 so wouldn't work out very cheap

Someone posted the link on monday with reagrd to exhaust clamps but they come in different sizes.

bit pricey though.

EDIT: having reread your initial post they're way too pricey

Thanks James - didn't realise I couldn't use Jubilees (I should read the manual one day), better get me one too.
