gaitor clips hose clips ...types used???

[jimmy970]

Hi, I wonder if anyone can tell me the style of clip retaining the steering rack gaitors on a MK1 mini, is it a twin wire clip or? als o are all engine bay clips twin wire, including fuel pipes or are the fuel pipe clips different.
I would like to say how useful this site and its members are, and what a great collection of people.

Thanks in advance.

I wonder if it is possible to have a tech reference section, I see similar questions being asked with regards to Radiators, engine components painted etc. Is it possible to have a reference section where we can all contribute and thereby produce an open reference?.

Thanks again

Jimmy

I can't help with the clip query, but...

<SNIP>Is it possible to have a reference section where
we can all contribute and thereby produce an open reference?.

The "Main" site, to which this forum is associated, already IS an excellent reference section:
http://mk1-performance-conversions.co.uk/mk1_index.htm

Most of what you will find here has come from Mark F's comprehensive personal
archive of all things useful. Some of it has been provided by "us", for the benefit of "us"...

If you have a contribution that you think will benefit others, ask Mark and
he may well choose to include it. Although the MkI site is not an "open reference",
I feel that this is a good thing as being selective about the content goes a long
way towards maintaining the very high standards that we have come to expect.

If the information is not available on the MkI site itself, by all means ask or post
on the forum as appropriate - Not everyone here agrees with everyone else,
but most members will allow others to state their case and invite discussion.

I've learnt more from this forum and the MkI site alone than I have from pretty
much all the other web-resources put together. How useful is that ?

Well said Ian!

The MK1 Perf Cons web site is exactly what he says, an open source reference for anything early BMC (but mainly Mini) related.

Although it was started using my personal collection, I have become far more dependent on contributions from other people, as stuff has become harder to find & more expensive. I am always happy to receive contributions either that have already been scanned, collated or otherwise prepared, I am also very happy to do any "preparation" & pay RMSD postage both ways.

The MK1 Site only occupies a small amount of its web space currently & I am always happy to receive suggestions or material for new sections.

Thank you,

Mark F
