Seat Diaphragm Clips

Post by indigo »

Went to fit a new diaphragm to the seat and ran into problems with the clips supplied with it. Unfortunately the seat did not come with clips.
The clips supplied are the middle one in the photo - looks like they are made from standard wire - they are a slightly smaller diameter then some old ones I had and bend realy easily.
Anyone had this problem or is it just me?
Used some original clips I had in my stash of stuff (the ones on the right in the photo) - no problems and easy job.
Can you buy decent clips anywhere?

I also had a problem using the “newer” clips that came with the replacement diaphragm.
I did need to use a few of the original clips. The bend makes all the difference!
