Help needed!

Post by L.Svedberg »

Hi guys!

I need help!

My problem is getting my hands on these clamps:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=018" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I need 30 pcs of these, but the seller refuses to sell to anyone outside the UK, and I cannot find any other source, no matter how. So if someone on here would like to help me out by acting middle man here, I'd happily pay a little for the help, and of course the small shipping fee to Sweden!

The clamps are for the coolant hoses on my race RVF, by the way.

Cheers and thanks! Lasse Svedberg

They are sort of disposable items - once used, they're non-reusable. You crimp the "eye" using a special tool. They are called Oetiker Clamps, and are in my opinion the cleanest and most light weight clamps available. If you happen to live in the UK, that is...

And if you don't have the crimp tool they are a right pain in the arse to try and shut :D
