Default P Clips

Hi all

Has anybody got a rough idea of how many p clips are required for running brake/fuel lines (Is there a max. distance between clips) I have noticed you can get double stacked clips as well which look like a push to fit to chassis from car builder solutions. Are these IVA approved or would I be better off sticking with the rubber lined p clips and rivets?

Cheers Jake

The push in ones are much cheaper here. I don't know if they are iva safe or not.

the ones i used are nylon p clips from maplin, they are cheap and i think they should be fine for iva. they are sold in packs of 100 which is enough as i still have a quite a few left over.

I'm not tight but they seem mighty pricey!! Might just go down the mild steel route at half the price.

How mant do you reckon you got through completely?
