I'm looking at how to secure my new copper fuel lines to the underside of the floor. My thoughts were to use rubber lined P clips but I thought i'd see what you lot are using.

Also been looking for somewhere locally to get p clips but can't quite find the right thing at the right price!

I used the rubber lined P clips as you say, I got mine from merlin motorsport, I think about £6-£7 for a pack of 10. Not too bad as they are decent quality etc.

Maplins do great nylon ones for next to nothing. Lightweight and rustproof
