Plastic coolant clip NLA

[Gjk]

Purely cosmetic but I’d like to replace one of the coolant hose clips situated on top of the air filter cover part# A075W6257F. It appears to be no longer available, has anyone found anything close?

I bought some of the bigger versions of those from SJ, do they not do those?

An alternative might be P-clips like these perhaps? I've used these for other applications on my car.

I typed the part number into the search function on the SJ website and it came back with no longer available please contact for possible alternative. I’m not sure about p clips as it might not allow enough movement when I need to change the air filter.

When we needed one, we were told that industrial supply houses like McMaster-Carr or Grainger could supply them in the proper size.

Thanks @CarBuff that is exactly the kind of clip I was looking for. Bit of a shame they don’t do a twin hose one. Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a UK supplier of that kind of clip 🤷‍♂️
 

Thanks @jonwat, I trawled their website but couldn’t find anything suitable. I wish to keep the OEM look if possible.

EDIT: they are not a twin hose clip. Two separate clips on one mounting screw.

What size do you need? 

[Gjk]

12mm or half inch. Have you a supplier @Chillidoggy?

[Chillidoggy]

No, but I might have some in the garage somewhere. If I find any, how many do you need?

[Gjk]

Just 1. I will happily pay for it plus p&p if you find one Ian @Chillidoggy 👍

OK, once my legs are working again after yesterday’s under-Esprit, petrol-sodden excitement, I’ll have a look in the loft.

Standby.

What on earth have you been doing? Or should I not ask…

[Chillidoggy]

Fuel tank crossover hoses. 

[Gjk]

Oh, hmmm. Crap job! ☹️

[Chillidoggy]

You’re in luck, I found one new clip, 12mm ID. PM me the address and I’ll post it next week.

[Gjk]

PM sent.

cheers Ian.

I have found an alternative part# A075W6228F. The internal diameter is approx 12mm. From SJ’s

I’ll mark the last post as the solution once I have received and fitted the replacements.
