Original crimped Driveshaft boot clips

Post by rolesyboy »

Does anybody know where I can obtain the original crimped Driveshaft boot clips and perhaps the tool that you use to crimp them together? Didn't like to use zip ties. I used lock wire last time but would prefer to use the original alloy/zinc looking things if I can lay hands on them. Cheers. Mark

Your choice >> http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from= ... boot+clips If you have'nt got the proper pincers you can use a set of side cutters. ;)

This is the correct tool>>> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hose-Clip-Pli ... 5d30bb4025
