Is there enough material where the clips go to use self tappers and screw the two halves together?

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi looking for some instructions on how the Intercoolers fit to the frame. also need to find out a part number for the metal clips that hold the 2 halves of the Air ducts together as shown in the photo thanks Karl

POST 3Original post

But only one per post! [ ] I think it is item 8 in the attached?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard, now you've posted that i can explain what i really meant! The clips we are missing hold the 2 halves of item 6 together, even the OPC can't find them Karl

POST 5Original post

Surely item 6 fits into item 7, and the clips are item 8? qty 12.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes correct, but item 6 is in 2 halves which isn't shown in the pdf & the clips shown in my first post (8 off) hold the 2 halves together. Can ask my mate for a picture of the 2 halves, OPC don't know what the clip part number is Karl

POST 7Original post

I see. It looks to me like they only supply item 6 in one piece, so I think you will have to improvise. A new one is £140-sh plus VAT.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looks like a washing up bottle & some double sided plastic then. His frames are lacking some fixings too, but they are £400 each!!!!! so we need to refer those as well Possibly black silicon of some sort to bond/seal the 2 halves together + an alternative clip of some sort Karl

POST 9Original post

Is there enough material where the clips go to use self tappers and screw the two halves together? Or an M4 screw and nut?

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Im not sure to be honest, we had a look at it the other night with the frames & thought we would be able to get the clips. Like you say some M4 x 40 skt cap hd + washers & Nyloc's might do the job, will have a look next time i'm over there Cheers Karl
