Jake Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Anyone know where I can get some metal cable ties? The silicon coupler that connects the turbo to the IC pipe is very close to my exhaust manifold . I've got some heat resistant cloth stuff but I need the ties to secure it. Anyone know where I can buy some? I've tried eBay but didn't find any.

Big Ads Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 These? http://www.entheos.co.uk/tying_solutions/product_info01.html Click "wire ties" on the LHS. Then copper annealed. How many do you want? what length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soop Dogg Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I got a pack from a car parts store locally - about a fiver for 10 of them. You need the correct tool for securing them though. They're the sort that you get to secure CV joints on FWD cars. I'd go for the hose clamp in your case..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
