Hi all,
What is the CORRECT name for these rings & where can I get them ?
The ones that I have are too large in diameter & the shop that I bought them in ( 10+ years ago ) is well gone!!

Re: Fuel line "crimping" rings
What size do you want T15? I probably have them here at work, I do keep them.
Mercs are like women, no 2 are exactly alike. That's what testing is about. In general it is safer to test motors and props than women!

Thanks Alacrity, I will measure-up in a few mins, ( sounds like Cardiff 2010 is a "re-run" of Cardiff 2009!!! )

Alacrity, the diameter of the pipe WHEN slipped over the fitting measures 13.85mm/14.2mm (outside ), so I assume a CLOSED/crimped finished size of 12.5 ish mm diameter, WOULD I BE CORRECT ?? I would like 12 number ( twelve )
I will send you a PM with my details but I am sure you still have them
ALREADY GETTING READY FOR CARDIFF 2010

Re: Fuel line "crimping" rings
T15 I have several sizes here, one has an ID approx. 12mm uncrimped, the next one up is about 15mm uncrimped. The 15mm one is what I used on my little old Stapely. On that subject I have some plans for a different motor, a bit more power & running much higher - not in 2010 but we will see after that. Getting frustrated not being able to get her past the 59mph mark!
Let me know on the crimps, then you will owe me some

I think I will need to speak to se7en re a GOOD s/s prop, unable to sort any out on the websites, they dont like my outboard "age" ???? & spoke to a few "engine/boat" dealers over here ( dip sticks ), I have "forgotten" more that they know & I dont know ........
OH back to the crimp clip, thanks, I will need to look at my fuel line tubes to see if I can get a short length with a "thicker" wall.
12mm ID would be too small for the "new" Merc line BUT may do the "old" Merc fuel line, 12mm may do the Yam on the rib ( will need to check but its 100 miles away ) I am trying to sort out 3 fuel lines & all are not just the same dia of tubes & fittings.
the clips I have are 15mm ID.
Thanks for looking, I will let you know what I need BUT it will be Mon 30th Nov as I will not be down to the rib until Sat 28th/Sun 29th.
looks as if you will have lots of @ Cardiff

Re: Fuel line "crimping" rings
Hi Alacrity,
got some "non stainless steel" ones this morning from newish company that do gas installing, only 1 mile from were I live
did not know this firm was in the industrial units
I got 2 sizes, 11mm > 13mm & 12mm > 14 mm, so I will see how these fit, ( the 12> 14mm ones only have one "crimping nipple"!! )
so if these dont do I will get back to you.
again THANKS

PS - Still trying to track down a 'smilie' for the forum that T15 will have trouble finding an excuse to use - I thought of you when I made that pint of black stuff availiable - and we've not even met yet...
