Is there a clip that holds the top of the regulator on?
It did have an oversized cable tie wrapped around it but, after painting, I thought I'd go in search of the proper thing. There's a small hole at either end and a groove on the top of the cover which must mean that it had some sort of clip originally? If so, does anyone know where I can find such a thing?



ps. Someone at Lucas had a sense of humour, stamping the terminal markers as FADE

Hi lee

I thought I read here before of someone using a welding rod of some kind then cutting/ bending to shape ??

From a mig I thought, but I know nothing about welding much to my regret

Hi Lee,

This picture shows the clips on an LVC1 (right) and an LVC2 (left). Shouldn't be too hard to make. With an old spoke perhaps?



Cheers,

I was that Man that J O'B mentioned...I have made them from St.Steel tig welding rods. To avoid scratching the paint when you slide the clip into place put a thin strip of plastic or card on top of the regulator lid and let the clip 'ride' over it...The lid should also be green by the way....Ian

Thanks all, it's much appreciated.
I think I'll go with the tig welding rods, not only to save some money (that'll go towards my 2014 fund...) but am I right in thinking that the top on my regulator is a bit squat meaning that a clip would be too long?

There are short and long versions.
