View Full Version : Crushable clips......
When you were fitting the I/C to my car just before chrimbo (blue ibiza cupra), and you sorted the D/V for me you used some clamps where you crush the two sides, any idea what thse are called or where i can get some more?

how many you need we got some here, same size foc
do you know what you guys are absolute legends! :) want to take this opportunity to say thanks for the 007P service kit you sent me in the post the other day, I e-mailed you late in the afternoon and I still recieved the kit the following morning! will get fitted tomorrow! I'd be tempted to blag a few of these clips off you or maybe I could buy a small bag as I'll be changing all my vac hoses soon (from you of course! :) ) and I'd like to secure them propperly instead of using cable ties
Here too, any chance you could put these on your site, vacuum hoses look so much better with small metal clips rather than cable ties?
Forge i aint counted yet, but its a fair few!
Hey rob, was that your letter i saw in PVW / Golf+ this month? If so i totally agree with the arty farty photo's being no bloody good!
If it wasnt you, then have a read, the man has the same name as you!
It was me yes! :D Hardly any mags get engine bay shots right, sometimes I feel like starting up my own mag and doing it properly!!! That blue 20th Golf had an awesome engine bay and they didn't get one single shot of it right, shame for the owner.
Yeah i agree, "here's a close up of something that you'd probably want to see not so close up, so you can see how its setup!"
If anyone is looking for these O crush clips, they can be purchased along with the tool for fitting them online here: http://www.workshopsupplies.co.uk/
I got a variety of sizes plus the tool, have to say they are a million times better than cable ties.
Just thought I'd pass that info on.
Cheers Rob, i've gotta get around to counting how many i need!
Rob, what size did you go for and single or double ear?
Single ear, one bag of every size!!! The 8.5-10mm fitted my vacuum hose.

The crimping tool looks as if any crmping tool could be used!
Thats DV looks sweet as!
The tool is actually pretty good, you can crimp straight on the nose or using the side.
