Anybody know p clip distances
 
Does anyone know off the top of their heads the minimum distances for fixing fuel hoses/ brake hoses and wiring in the tranny tunnel for IVA?. I know its in their somewhere but for the life of me I cant find it. Reason I ask is i think ive truly overdone it and ive run out of rubber lined p-clips, being a tight arse i was going to remove a few and carry on:rolleyes:

skov 8th March 2012 11:06 PM

Me too!
I thought it was every 150mm?

I thought it was 100mm in the transmission tunnel, and 150mm everywhere else? Can't really go wrong if you secure it too often.

Im going 100mm all over just to be on the safe side.

Thats me b***oxed as well then...:eek:
I'm sure its no more than 150mm in tranny tunnel and 300mm everywhere else..

Found this by Spud
Hi David,

The manual says that all cables / pipes must be securely fitted at a max 300mm intervals and free from chafing. This reduces in the tranny tunnel though and needs to be every 150mm, preferably laid on a channel.

its says. (in genral construction)
"All electrical cables/wires must be free from chaffing and secured at intervals of at least every 300mm unless contained in a secure hollow component."

cant find anything with an actual mesurement at the mo for brake and fuel pipes but i cant see why the trans tunnel would be any diffrent from the floor,rear axel area or engine bay.
i dont think any production car has clip spacing as tight as 100mm (4in)

300mm

I did mine closer than that but just made sure it looked tidy and was no more than 300 anywhere
