Nice update so gratifying once refurbished. I bought some of these

SurePromise Double Clips Brake Line Hose Pipe Fastener Retaining Brackets 10/20/40 pcs (10 pcs) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07JZJN...abc_BYB1S99WPBCWDTT1DT0B?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have some spares how many you need? If not to many pm me your address and I’ll post them to you.

Kind offer Althulas. The genuine answer is I don't actually know lol. I was going to replace them all on the rear sub. How many is there? I've them all off at present? Best guess is 4-6? I'll take any charity going atm (see below)

What's the lead time on those you suggested? You remember?

Also the dick that I am broke another rear drive shaft. Straight in first one. Took wrong cap off again.



Ruined. Doh! Drive shafts alone have cost me £260 in stupidity so far. Plus to add salt as you can see they are different (my original is left, replacement is right) , next replacements coming are getting a quick check and if ok they getting cleaned up and slotted in. Fed up arseholing around breaking driveshafts also for record. Wtf is that cap not a replaceable part? Surely someone somewhere knows where they can be sourced?

Where abouts? I'm Armagh. Frantically trying to get it finished now to blast it up the Mourne and Sperrin mountains and up round Donegal during our week summer lol

Probably be better just to buy some new shafts https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132126042811

those clips are showing lead time of 4 to 6 days.

Anyone any of these knocking about no 5 (33411124945) cheapest I can lay my hand on is eBay at 11.79 which is ridiculous for a washer.



Would this fit?
