brake pipe clips

[sardonicus]

I've been doing a few bits for the m.o.t. next week , replaced the long brake pipe that goes to the rear axle,and quite a few old plastic retaining clips snapped when removing the old pipe. Does anyone know somewhere that does these mail order as i cant find any near here. ? .thanks.
And  as for rusty wheel arches as has been discussed before, I'm getting some tricky welding done tomorrow , on the bulkhead where the wheelarch joins it,(right where the main loom goes through), defo a mot failure i think ,as its within 30cm of the  servo and the mounting bracket to chassis, oh and degrease/oil the handbrake shoes so I can park on hills !

As long as they are secure you can you any method that comes to hand  :)

Whilst on the subject of brake pipe clips I never did find the spacer clips for the double pipes that run across the front calipers. I know it makes no difference to there security because they are only short pipes but it looks better if they run parallel . Our local motor factors have a standard answer "Go to the dealers that's a special part" Any clues would be welcome

Hi.

Have you tried the main dealers? I was surprised when I got some brake pipe clips, only about a quid each, and guaranteed to fit as a genuine part.
