P38A Jubilee clips or....

RangeRoller dt · Apr 24, 2019

Jubilee clips for small hoses, but the band ones for larger diameters like the boots. I used good cable ties (2 to a cv) as temporary, they are okay but won’t last

This type is the best for CV boots..

I thought you needed as special tool to get these tight. I think there are a couple on the fuel filler system. I dumped whatever was there in favour of jubilee clips as I couldn't get them to tightened.

No, pliers work well.

Pincers.

Not normal pliers, pincers like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CT3212-9...716354&hash=item4d7493a51e:g:mrEAAOSwlzZbDow~

+1. Used to be a standard part of any toolbox.

Changing ones on fuel filler was likely good shout.
Don’t be tempted to forget about the boots for too long, once water and grit get in there off the road they can be nightmare to change whole unit

As well as their familiar clamps, Mikalor also make "jubilee" clips. Far better than a standard clip IMHO and can be tightened to about 7NM without the screw thread slipping. I could not get a jubilee clip tight enough to keep a silicone intake hose clamped to the thin, recessed pipe on the turbo intake and it was too narrow for a Mikalor clamp. A Mikalor ASFA "jubilee" clip has been perfect. They even make them in titanium or in constant tension varieties.

They are very good, got some T bolt clamps for my silicone hoses

Used the thinner mikalor stainless steel clip for the bottom hose as the intercooler outlet is oval

The Mikalor clamps are great quality.

Stainless steel cable ties would last.

Have to admit, I quite like the Ear Clamps as pictured a few times above. Sometimes a bit awkward to get to, where a screwdriver would prevail but give a good firm circular grip.
