Air box to carburettor rubber securing clip

[ThePowster]

Morning fellas.

Does anyone know where I can get a cheaper Air box to carburettor rubber securing clip?

I can get them here but at £8 each and needing 4 that's a lot of money.

I was hoping there was a cheaper aftermarket version out there somewhere. I know the band is 7mm.

Any help be much appreciated 👍

I was hoping there was a cheaper aftermarket version out there somewhere.

The OEM part appears to be available at Partzilla, for $5.85 US each (they list 4 needed, but the checkout is "each")

Of course that is below the "free shipping" amount. I did several orders from Partzilla earlier this year, then realized I could have easily added some vacuum hose which is an odd 4.5 mm (our parts stores in US don't carry it, only 1/8", 1/4" etc) but that does work).



I realize that you are in the UK so Partzilla may be grief.

Partzilla says that part fits a lot of other bikes, I would look for Used OEM before paying out the nose to David Silver (great for discontinued parts, but this is not discontinued)

Couldn't you also just try a regular hose clamp from a hardware store?

[ThePowster]

That's a great post Bob thank you for that.

I wasn't sure moll if I could get away with that or not? I couldn't find any 7mm bands with that kind of clamp at the bottom and I wasn't sure if that was necessary or specific to these carb boot rubbers.

I'll do some research tomorrow on the above see what I can find.

Thanks again 👍

[mollusc]

That style of clamping mechanism was common on old cars, until it was replaced by the newer type of worm fastener.  You should be able to use a different one.  I also don't see why it would have to be 7mm specifically.  They're there to help form a seal between the carbs and the boots -- so long as they do that, the width should not matter.

[ThePowster]

Ahhh that makes sense now you've said that, brilliant!

7mm is the max width inside the rubber that goes onto the carbs before the lip on the rubber, so 7mm and less is what would be required, an 8mm would go over the securing rubber lip that keeps the clip locked in if you get my drift.

I guess stainless would be a good option too, stop them rusting.
