KTEC Induction Kit Jubilee Clip With Thread

Niall · Dec 10, 2016

I've been an utter clownshoe and overtightened the nut for the bracket on the jubilee clip, and the thread has sheered from the jubilee clip.

So, I'm wondering where I can get hold of one? I may try ringing KTEC but they haven't been the most helpful bunch in my experience.

Thoughts?

mossyv6 · Dec 10, 2016

Good question as I did exactly the same on mine.

Tarmac Adam · Dec 10, 2016

Do you or can you get access to a welder if so buy a genuine jubilee clip as most cheap hose clips are k tec ones included I found them to short on a kit I fitted to a car the other day as well and then just tack weld a bolt to it

Cant you buy a new jubilee clip from a car parts shop? Theyre only about a quid.

Or is it a different sort of design?

It's a jubilee clip with a thread coming off it at a 90 degree angle. It's for the bracket so you can put a nut on it and it holds it steady. The jubilee clip serves no purpose other than for mounting the bracket.

See below on this pic (not my car), the thread coming off it which attaches to the bracket.

I think I'll try to call KTEC on Monday, hopefully they're reasonable and sell me one or maybe even give me one.

I could get somebody to spot weld it back on but that's more messing around than asking KTEC for a new one.

Sorry mate, was trying to fathom the image link to add thing, it's attached now.

I dont think that bracket is needed mate, they fit pretty snug behind the headlight

It isn't, but I want it on just because it's part of the kit and it would do my head in if it wasn't there and it's supposed to be. I'm Mr OCD himself about little things like this.

Contact ktec like you say mate theyll sort you one probably at a price.

Yeah I will do on Monday, fingers crossed!

imprezaworks · Dec 10, 2016

Be interesting to see how much. £12-15 is my bet

Drill hole in jubilee, use cable tie to go through the hole & bracket.

I have actually done this and put a nut and built through the hole but doesn't fit as snug as I would like.

Let me know the size of the jubilee clip or the outside diameter of the hose and I'll get you one from work, for just cost of postage mate, be a decent high-torque st/st one too. Seeing as it's nearly Christmas! :wink: :up:

Yeah just a normal jubilee clip but with an M6 stud spot welded to it. Anyone know off hand what the outside diameter of the induction pipe is? I'll grab a few from work today.

DJR1210 · Dec 12, 2016

Yea don't go spending silly money on them from ktax lads!! :wink:

DJR1210 · Dec 12, 2016

These go up to 80mm, next size is 100mm so pretty sure these will be good.

JamesBryan · Dec 12, 2016

70-80mm should do yeah.

They're the ones! PM coming your way.

How will the above work? My induction is slightly unstable.

Like in post #5 with the bracket.

Stay Puft · Dec 12, 2016

Where could I get a bracket?

DJR1210 · Dec 12, 2016

Wouldn't be too hard to make one up out of a strip of aluminium or mild steel, round the corners, drill a 6.5mm hole either end and put a 90 degree return one end, job done. I could probably knock you one up if you haven't got the means to do it.

DJR1210 · Dec 12, 2016

Obviously spray it first if it's mild steel.....

My car broke down because I didnt connect by battery properly haha!

That's exactly What I need. Can you weld the bolt on for me/us?

And thanks for all your help mate.

JamesBryan · Dec 12, 2016

The original ones with the Ktec kit are 60-80mm. So the 80mm from @DJR1210 will be perfect.

No problem mate. No welding required as they come with the stud already on. If you ping me your address I'll post you one. I'll let you know what postage cost and if you cover that, it's cool by me.

imprezaworks · Dec 12, 2016

What a top chap

Nice one

Top man, many thanks and PM on its way

DJR1210 · Dec 13, 2016

No worries chaps, glad I can help! Will post them off tonight for you.
@mossyv6 @Niall97
@Davyy I'll start looking at making you up a bracket for your kit mate, shouldn't be a problem but might take a while as I'll be completely fabricating it and will need to get the measurements from my car etc and find a piece of metal to use, so sit tight :up:

leedsboy · Dec 13, 2016

Not all heroes wear capes!

Nice one @DJR1210
