Hi all I’m in need of the 2 chrome/stainless clips that fit on the top hose of my kettle , I’ve seen some on flea bay at the rather expensive price of £55 for the pair , does anybody know if anyone else does them at a more reasonable price please

Hi Tommy, sorry mate but that's the going rate for a pair of chromed hose covers and fleabay is probably the only place you'll see them for sale, although I believe Mark Read on here makes them in stainless steel but not sure of the price. Plus I did hear a while back that the s/s ones aren't as springy as the chromed ones and don't retain their shape as well. You could give Baz a shout, he may have a pair.
HTH Steve.

Hi, I got a pair of stainless clips awhile ago now from gtreiner1@aol.com
I just had a look at his current parts list & can't see a listing for them,
You could always Email him & ask the question,
Cheers,
Roger

Had a word with Mark Read and he hasn't any in stock, but says he will make some in the near future. Keep looking on his ebay site at classic_bike_fasteners

I’ve just bought a set of the expensive eBay ones as I had no other options. They are a good job but certainly not with £27 each but hey no other options. Delivery was within a few days.

Well, there was always the option to be not so posy....... :roll:
Oh, by the way, Baz fitted some on my 750 when he did the job.
Did you not ask him? ...... :tw
He builds the f'kin things for a living ffs, so he gets stuff - and sells it - at sensible prices.
Now where's the 'duh' smiley. :?
