please does anyone know where to get plastic Jubilee clips from ?
I only have a few left of 30-40 mm and I really wanted 55-65 mm
I want to use a Jubilee clip inside the holding tank and I dont want anything that can rust as some Jubilee clips do, even stainless will not get air to it and I think it will fail.
Plastic would be ideal, even if it drops in it will not damage the macerator.

I bought some small squeeze together plastic hoseclips from www.rswww.com. They didn't give enough pressure for fuel injection hoses though, so I went back and got the sort you crimp with pincers.

Thanks for the link, the current clamp is a plastic push together but it will not push tight enough, there is air getting in via the breather so I really need the proper Jubilee clip you screw tight but the ones I have are not big enough.
I am not sure what the pincer type are ?
the ones I recall are galvanised/stainless but in a holding tank environment I think even stainless will fail .
even if the plastic fails , Plastic may block the macerator but at least it will not harm it.

Snapper clips I think is what you should be Googling for. Bottom left in this picture:

The place where I get my outboard serviced, has special cable ties for fuel hoses. These are not the usual type, but have a curved area under the tie part, to ensure the fixture is completely fuel tight. Also using a cable tie tool to get it really tight and cut off flush.

Yes the snapper clip is what I meant, RS only do them up to 30mm though. Search plastic hose clip
Depending on the hose and fitting a cable tie might be just as good?
Or would a couple of turns of lock wire be better?
