Can anyone point me in the eight direction for the jubilee type clips for the carb to head rubbers. Have spoke to David Silvers and they have to order in from Europe.....

 

I would have thought any decent pipe clamp/ring would work. I know of people that just bought ones that fitted around the rubbers and used them with no problems.

 

So just use jubilee clips... sorted.

 

Here's a link to a Ebay U.K. vendor. Selsct your size and material and you should good to go. I'd opt for the stainless, myself.

The specs say the band width is 24mm. Seems kinda wide.

 

Yes I think 24mm will be too wide for the carb rubbers. Will look around for something narrower.
Thanks

Hi
My recollection is that the rubbers slightly raised flanges(for want of a better description) that locate the clamps in the correct position both laterally and radially to ensure that they clamp in the correct position and that the adjusting/tightening screws are accessable and do not roll away from the screwdriver as you try to tighten them. Maybe there are a narrow band type of hose clamp available in your area otherwise you may well be stuck with genuine.

 

Maybe this John

Go to Wemoto. I bought a set of the rubbers and clips from them a couple of years ago. They sent the wrong ones the first time but got me the correct ones within a few days and they weren't that expensive.
Wemoto are a good little company based near Brighton, Hawks neck of the woods. They have a good website but you'll need to phone or email for these. Make sure they know exactly which model you have.
I would not recommend using ordinary jubilee clips. If the rubbers are in good shape you don't need a huge amount of clamping force. Too much could deform them and make matters worse.
Good luck.

 

Having spoke to David Silvers Honda Spares I have learnt that the clips are marked as A and B type. To do with which way they point to tighten. Does anyone know which is the A and which is the B type. I never realized when I took it apart and now are in a box waiting for the new rubbers I have ordered. Hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew. Not confident at all....

 

John, give WeMoto a call, forgot all about them until Henry reminded me. I use them for parts a lot, they are a good company and most of the guys that work there are bikers as well. Link to their website here :-

As a side note John, what happened to your old ones? They're not normally the type of thing I'd expect you'd need to replace.
