Removing rubber oil pipe

[AWJDThumper]

The problem with this type of mini clip is that they don't have a very big clamping range - normally only about 2mm. For these 5/16" oil pipes, I believe you need to use a 15mm mini clip, which probably means a 13-15mm clip.  It might be worth checking what you have used but it's probably ok, if a little unsightly. I personally prefer Jubilee clips which look slight neater.

The ones I have used are 14 - 16mm.  I think the o/d of the rubber tube is about 15mm. As long as they're not going to come loose, I'm happy. Phil.
