Did mine about a month ago, scars still visible!

Fixed 1 leak, I still have another somewhere though :(

Well done mate.

Aren't those clips just complete bstds.  Either too big for your pliers or just out of reach.

Cheers

Ian

The clips are very good. They are extremely quick during build, and apply a consistent, even clamping pressure...

But without right tools, a right barsteward...
