Hi,
I want to mount a 100mm ag pipe to the rear of my Jayco. Does anyone know where (in
Sydney) I can get hose clips of about 200mm diameter? Are there any other
bright mounting ideas?

Hi
Penguin:
I have been searchhing for the same sort of clamps .. long radiator hose type clamps .. and have been advised today that you can buy them from "
farm supply" type
places. Have not yet tested the "theory", but will be heading off to the local
farm supply
shop over the next few days.
I am not trying to tell you how to suck eggs, but may I also suggest that you make sure the ends are
well glued on (I used the blue glue used by plumbers), as i saw an incident recently where a driver braked hard, his screw cap assembly gave way and he had about 7 deadly looking "spears go all over the vehicle in front. Minor damage, but could have been worse. He thought just "tapping" the ends on was enough. Thankfully for me he did not have a vehicle that could accelerate as
well as it braked or I may have worn them earlier.
Safe travels.
Jack

Thanks Jack,
Ouch!! I used the red primer first and then the blue glue. I trust that the ends of the pipe are going nowhere. :-)

Hi
Penguin:
Yep, that'll do the trick. But you will be surprised at how many don't fix/attach them properly or securely.
Safe travels,
Jack

Throw in a few pop-rivets too, just remember to seal them with silastic or something, if a water-tight fitting is required.Smile, you're on ExplorOz
