Any suggestions for good quality replacement clips instead of the single use OE ones pictured? would a single ear o clip do the trick? suggestions for size and brand would be good. i know some folks jubilee clips but id rather avoid if possible
something like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/22243971...qpkB3zG7pl0F74Ujjwfi|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2047675 or this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/25238175...zYHh7GeJ6nW%2F2c4%3D|ampid:PL_CLK|clp:2334524
A pair of pincers like these, I got some from Homebase and they were fine. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/163323508212?hash=item2606d6f5f4:g:StAAAOxyGqZSXlTR
This is the correct tool, it doesn't cut into the clamp ears and it keeps the ear flat as it pulls it together
Just to update on this after finally replacing my fuel filter and o ring and going out for a little test yesterday Got the single ear single use clips from oetiker and some knipex pincers specifically for single ear clips If time wasnt an issue i would have gone for the tool above which is definitely better than the pincers i have which dont have the flat bit to keep the ear flat Its all worked well so far and the oetiker clips are very good
I changed the pipes to rubber type, bit larger outer dia but I used stainless clips that sort of clamps the Pipe all around with a screw, not jubilee because they do not sit right on small dia pipe. Reason I changed the pipes was because the plastic pipe split and the air box caught fire, some how the fire went out even though it was spraying fuel and of course plenty of air, worth to check this as I shit my panties when I took apart and found that had happened and couldn't to this day work out why the bike didnt light up.
