Halfords stainless steel hose clips - oilrag

I noticed they were selling SS hose clips the other day. Narrower and seemingly of thinner metal though, than the galvanized type.

It`s a while since I saw actual Jubilee brand clips - it might have been in the tool shop in Meadowhall shopping centre.

Will need one in a few years for the bottom hose on the Panda.... (think I will go for a Jubilee brand)

Are you always looking at parts like this? A sort of reflex action from decades back when top hoses sometimes didn`t last a year...

Funnily enough I was just looking over SWMBO`s Corolla last week and noticing the bottom hose clip is succumbing to the old iron oxide. It`s not really surprising as the car`s eight years old. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction ,Oilrag .Well, an eight year old Toyota is barely run in.

Toolshop? Meadowhall?

Are we talking of the hell on earth shopping centre near Sheffield?

Yeah ;-) We are always there as it opens, then leave about 11am before it gets busy.

Piggy, I`m not sure Halfords stainless are the best option - they are narrower and thinner metal than the Halfords galvanised type - which in turn SEEM less robust than the Jubilee brand.

That`s just an impression really. Has anyone examined them more closely?
