Default Jubilee Clips, Where From?

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

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

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!

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

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.
