Brake & Fuel Pipe Clips

[Nick Jackson (2)]

I received my brake & fuel pipe kits for my GT6 from Canley's yesterday but these kits don't come with fixing clips.  What is best practice in terms of clips - nylon or metal?    Could someone recommend a product / supplier?

Thanks
Nick

Looked at that but the nearest seems to be this:-

The problem being I want a clip to hold a 3/16" brake pipe and a 5/16" fuel pipe in the same way as the product above.  There's only one set of holes in the chassis for the clip fixings and I'm reluctant to drill a second set of holes for a dual set of clips.  I'm not even sure such a clip that retains two pipes of different diameters exists though.

I always found these to be helpfull.

I use the "p" clip, metal with rubber.

Also these, they do lots Wit the kit car chaps.

Always better to have too many clips than not enough!  :)

Nick,

3/16 combined with 5/16" clips do exist and are actually easier to find than  2 x 5/16" clips.  Available from a number of places, but this lot are my favourite for this sort of thing.  Watch pack sizes when considering pricing!

I used the ones from Rimmers - se Nicks link above. Fine for my spitfire mk 3 project. But would have liked to find some with the same hole size on the chassis as the original 'dubble-P-clips' used, as I had to drill new smaller holes.

Those 3/16" and 5/16" combined clips look the part but like JenH I don't want to drill more holes than I need to.     Canley's do a double metal clip part number 59191 but unfortunately there's no picture to see what they're like and how they fix to the chassis.  

Thanks for the replies.

Bresco's everytime for me, cheaper the rimmers and much better service.

I think Brescos do those too Nick.  Good company - If in doubt give them a ring, they are very helpful.
