plenum
« on: 17 April 2008, 21:14:37 »
ive just been reading a few posts and hadnt noticed before that the 4 tubes at the back of the plenum have no jubilee clips to hold them on, they are very tight anyway but does this matter much or not. they have never moved but should i go and get some first thing tomorrow

The tubes on mine are a straight push fit.  Used to be cabletied but, after the last 'doo', I never replaced them.  No probs to date....

I have original VX spring type clips on both the 2 outer tubes ,but the 2 inner tubes have no clips .I often wondered if that was correct but looks like mine is ok aswell.

.. and just to add to the confusion I have clips on all four of mine. Doubt they'd go far without though, TBH.

any other permutations...?

The original spring clips need the proper tool (or some invention) to reinstall hence why once removed they don't often go back.   They are also a prime candidate for dropping down the intake ports so take them off the pipes before lifting the plenum.

I wouldn't use Jubilee clips as they can be over tightened, try cable ties ;)
