  2. I had a couple like that on the 999 recently for the cooling pipes, stuck a flat head in and twisted. Had to replace with a normal jubilee clip.

  6. Called an ear clamp, more efficient than a jubilee clip, just cut the ear with some spring side cutters.

  7. These clamps are often referred to as Oetiker clips, they can be fitted and removed using a special tool quite easily. Removal will destroy the clip and a new one will therefore be needed.

    I use this company who can supply them in both zinc plated versions and stainless steel.
