did you use them on brake pipes,fuel lines and battery cable mate?

that Johnbetts chap is selling some hose clip things. should find him in the traders section

Ive only used them on the fuel lines so far, but I will eventually use them on the brake lines and battery cable.

This what I've done:



I have the battery up front, but I'm sure some bigger clips are easy enough to get.

I got them from this chaps ebay store. Seemed good value to me.

As above stainless rubber lined p clips. I've used them for fuel lines and battery cable. I think they look tidy!
