local motor factors and get some heavy duty jubilee clips

think you need 55-60mm OD??

Ask Ivor and i'm sure he'll confirm  :wink:

Don't know the exact sizes, but Halfords sell a bag of assorted jubilee's for about a fiver, IIRC.  The Forge set is over £10! :lipsrsealed:

ps These might do the job.  The biggest one you need is probably about 65mm??:-

You've gone the other end of the spectrum! :D  A bit overkill for the TIP!

Just measure the outlets on your TIP & go to local motor factors. ;)  Or take TIP to shop! :)

Yeah, Scraped knuckles & blue air, LOL!!  (Just ask Rich W, LOL! :D).

If you can work a jack, screwdriver & ratchet, then you'll be ok! ;)

Hope it goes well! :afro:

Tip:  If you're struggling to get the smaller end of the TIP over the turbo, spray it with some deodorant - It just slides on then.  It will then evaporate dry after 5 mins or so. ;)
