Hello,


So i just gave my clips ago and there shit Just as you go for the last turn to make them tight they chew themselves up and fuck up

So where do you buy yours from?

I did look on eBay but how can you tell the good from the bad? I dont want to pay like £3 each one.

I did see these and thought they would look good but might cost alot and are they any good? Plus can you get these in the size for turbo/cooler hoses?

Many Thanks Eigdoog

 

Its like these what i have but not made from Jubilee.

genuine jubilee clips are the ones too have, or mikalor for boost hoses are pretty good

remember they really dont have to be that tight, so dont go too mad

 

If you are in a rush like i was yesterday and need them rather than wait for mail order then go to your local B&Q (seriously) as they have all the bigger sizes that car suppliers don't stock

 

Ill go for them then thanks, also i never did them THAT tight as i could still move everything so i thought one more turn and snap!

B&Q really? lol last place i would of went too. Ill just order some as i dont need them this week but soon ish.


Cheers guys

 

Hi, I use JCS hi torq ones in stainless very good quality

 

Pay for cheapies, get cheapy performance, as said use SS ones, I use the NORMA ones, or for mikalor type clamps I use marine grade SS from Norma.

mikalor are crap for boost hoses,they leak.
normal halfords hose clips will do a better job imo

 

Cheers everyone, never knew there was so many to choose from lol. I was hoping to buy them from eBay but i want them all looking the same for the bay. Ill just buy Jubilee make ones as i dont trust the others (unless i see them in a shop somewhere before i buy them)

Oh also what are them clips called where you have to squeeze them to make them bigger and when you let go there tight. i thought spring clips but is there a proper name?

Cheers!

 

i was so anal building my engine i got all mine from fords just so they had the badge on them

 

hehe anal

Umm yeah... i did think that but im just going to paint all mine red as i dont have the money for red hoses so hopping this will work.

Were they alot of moneys?

 

nah pennies each iirc, i bought a few parts there that day ill dig the invoice out an look if u want me to mate

 

Well you dont have to dig it out mate just as long as they was not like ££££ each. I might get enough to do two engines so i have one set spare. If you did just "find" it then post how much please but dont go out your way to do so

 

ok mate will do but they def wasnt that expensive dont think i pad more than 15 quid for the whole engine's worth, even the ones on the matrix pipe an the ones that go into the back of the inlet on a mfi engine

 

Agree with this, been getting a error code on my Golf for months for boost leak, I replaced the mikalor clamps with the B&Q jubilee ones and is now perfect.

 

you can do it if you b@Q it!

 

£15 nicker dont seem to bad! Might go there monday!

Ill leave the mikalor ones by the sounds of things.
