Fuel Line Clips

[skov]

Any idea if IVA man would be happy with me using these clips for holding the fuel lines in place down the tranny tunnel:

i personally dont know 100% but i would say no due to them being an "open" clip, id imagine they have to be all the way round like the "p" clips :)

Depends how well they grip the pipe & how far they stand the pipes off the chassis rails ( To avoid chaffing )

Not too dissimilar to OEM pipe clips :)

I think i would agree with michael and say as they are open clips iva tester might not like the open side of the clip

You can get these rubber lined p-clips from Beal Uk Ltd:

Only £8.80 for 50, much cheaper than CBS, and excellent for the job. IVA man always has a close look along the tranny tunnel and it always goes down well when he sees these plus there is enough to use along the rest of the car.

I was a bit worried about them being 'open', probably safer not to use them I guess.

I may have just found an alternative though. I can get hold of these triple clips with two 8mm clamps and one 4.8mm clamp, which should do the fuel lines and the brake line in one go :)

Only problem is I have to buy a couple of hundred at a time!
