P clips

[Doogle]

Not sure if its the right section or not but found these on ebay, would they be suitable for wiring, brake lines, fuel line etc?

Seen them on some build pictures,more durable steel with rubber lining.

I like the plastic option much more. Steel will rust, nylon is forever.

Just bought me a packet, thanks for the tip!

I,ve used a combination of plastic clips & the stainless/rubber lined "P" clips,
The rubbeer lined ones on my fuel & brake lines as anti vibration aid & the plastic ones on the wiring.

Tho may I say that the ones in the link are a little small, 4.8mm isn,t very big for being wrapped around the brake or fuel lines.

i used nylon p clips on everything passed iva fine dont like the metal ones as the metal rusts and the rubber perishes

I have the nylon pclips also except I read a tip on here a while back to get a bigger size and then use some aquarium air line around the brake line to give it extra grip/cushioning.
Not sure whos tip that was.

Thanks guys, I prefer the idea of the nylon ones too. Wasnt sure if these were too small or too big though. For the price I might just buy some anyway!
