well i'm not sure if that is what they are called - I am referring to the metal strips that hold wiring brake and fuel lines in place under the floor and in the engine bay. some of mine rusted away so am looking on recommendations on whether to replace like with like or to fit p-clips or similar?

Thanks

i've, personally, gone down the 'p' clip route -- make sure that movement of the pipes is limited, as copper work-hardens.

Thanks Matt - presume your p clips are held on with self tapping screws carefully positioned (or short enough) so as not to spike any passengers in their feet?

pop rivets
