CrisisWolf Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I’ll look on eBay or similar but I cant think what to call it. one of these - or something that does a similar job. The gold U shaped part only. name that widget! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrisisWolf Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Hmmm close but not quite! Its open on the inside, not threaded. Literally slots over - and probably why I lost one - probably rotated and came off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Taylor Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 They’re similar to brake line clips but I dont know the right name for them found some under Range Rover brake line clips can you take the one you have off and search for similar by entering the photo of it on ebays search feature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Taylor Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This sort of thing https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F323759279860 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisisWolf Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Yeah it is that sorta thing. Not perfect but they do the job. Less effective on the carbon bonnet as its thinner than the GRP. Was a tight fit on GRP but not so much these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAIGR Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Isn’t it supposed to be the other way round ? Look much like flexible brake hose clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrisisWolf Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Thanks Craig. Looks about right. Just need to check the ID. that photo is upside down! Bottom bonnet lip is at the top of the photo - it’d fall straight off otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAIGR Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Sorry Chris meant clip should be flipped so tag is sticking outwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisisWolf Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Ohhh... I flipped it as it gives a better fit - rattles alot the other way around as the clip is against the bonnet so leaves more of a gap. Can and I think I did bend the middle out to help it. need to measure the ID of what Ive got now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
