Hose Clips Clic or Clic R ?

Post by paul001 »

Are most of the original hose clips on the BX 19 Engines either Clic or Clic R or some other kind of Jubilee style clip ? I need to remove a couple to replace the oil filler hose and would like to know which set of pliers I need to get hold of

My gut instinct is that I would snip them off and fit new ones anyway.

*EDIT* which you probably were going to do already, sorry! I would prefer jubilee clip style ones anyway, saves buying special pliers.
