S40 V40 Cars: - MOT Brake clips required - size?

morrismen · Mar 21st, 2020, 14:56

Hi,

V40 2003 1.8 SE Petrol has just had new metal brake pipes fitted to the rea wheels the length of the car for the MOT. It has meant the plastic brake pipe retaining clips have broken when they fitted these; these plastic clips are usually push fit into the underside of car body I'm told.

Does anyone know what size diameter the Brake Pipes are usually? Are they 4.5mm (I think they are this) or 6mm or other mm?

Where can I get these Black Plastic Brake Pipe clips from? Not been able to locate them so far.

Thanks.

Standard brake pipe is 4.75 mm (3/16 imperial) diameter.
If no luck anywhere else, try ebay, etc.
