Post by: chrisgixer on 21 July 2013, 14:38:22: Worth a call to Irmscher uk? See if they have any useless pieces of ..... in stock? ;D

Title: Re: What is this clip called
Post by: Andy H on 21 July 2013, 14:54:50: Is it metal or plastic?

I wonder if the suppliers of fasteners for kit car builders have something that fits :-\

Post by: TheBoy on 21 July 2013, 14:56:44: Metal. Well, monkey metal.

Metal. Well, monkey metal.
I thought that http://www.bresco.com/ (http://www.bresco.com/) would have something but I can't see any :-\

I assume the clip pushes onto a flat plastic tang on the rear of the moulding and then doesn't let go?

yup

Post by: zirk on 21 July 2013, 15:20:14: Maybe use a small Caddy Clip cut in half (sometimes called Hammer on Flange Clip or Fence Clips)? :-\
Title: Re: What is this clip called
Post by: chrisgixer on 21 July 2013, 15:27:44: They are a crap idea. One or two removals and they chaif enough plastic away to leave nothing to hold onto.

I wonder if drilling the plastic tang and an R clip might work? Can't remember how wide the tangs are and if there's enough meat left for drilling? :-\

Loads I'm afraid, they are even more brittle after being heated a fair bit.

Post by: 05omegav6 on 21 July 2013, 16:26:16: Can the mesh be tweaked to grip the tabs, perhaps with small cable ties as a kind of locking ring :-\

That was going to be plan B, but all my black cable ties are a molten mess ;D

Was hoping someone recognised the clip, and I could buy a pack

They are slightly larger, so might have to nip up the springy bit with some pliers. Maybe.
