Anyone done it as am sick of the 5 quid clips breaking when you fit the fuckers.

 

Think i saw some genuine ones for sale on cosworthshop.com. Could be mistaken and RST ones though.

Whatever they probably want stupid money

 

Yeah but they break too fucking easy m8.

 

I need to do mine, would like to see a pic of an alternative method.

 

Me too pal.

 

Some little aluminium ones would do the trick, I rekon there is a good market for someone to make a batch.

 

Done exactly that on mine

Some thin alloy from my old kitchen,bent into 'L' shape

 

How did you fix them to the sill ?

 

I made some a while ago from proper alloy extrusions.....

Did keep the drawings so might make some more in the future...

 

I'll have a set if you do m8.

 

Yep dont waste your money on new ones, they are shite!

I left the broken ones on and put a bit of Tigerseal on each clip, wedged a bit of wood under the skirt to hold it up when it was drying, next day jobs done.

 

Me is full of the best ideas.

 

i tried SOOOOO many methods, and i settled on...

drill and small cableties

SO SIMPLE, and you can't tell either

 

I'm getting some made in metal

The ones on Ebay are about £90! Sod that!

 

there's a post about getting these remade in the Sierra room

I would not reccomend buying the ones from ebay as i recently tried fitting some and half broke while doing it I believe that the plastic on these so called new ones has gone brittle over time and i tried heating them up,but to no avail,as i regularly find bits of them under my car in the garage
I am going to make some stainless ones soon as i reckon that they will be better than alloy,with a stainless screw to fix to body and a pop rivet to the plastic.

Self tapper into sill lip,pop rivet onto skirts

Why do you need to make them out of stainless hardly any weight on them.

Thin alloy was easy,can bend/adjuds them when your under car to get perfect

 

Plenty galv sheets at work will get one of the welders to make me some.

 

They will be better made out of 1.2mm stainless strip for a few reasons...stronger,will never rust or deteriate and will not react like alloy does with steel and water.But that is just my opinion and how i want to do it
