Ian Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I've just dismantled most of my WBS, in order to replace two warped baffles (that's why it never burnt well, last winter).Some parts were held on by machine screws into sheet steel. In order to re-inforce the steel, and provide a good grip, there are/were small spring-steel clips over the edge of the sheet, into which the machine screw fitted.Can anybody tell me what they're called, so I can buy some replacements?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I think they are called Spire clips, no idea what in French.I buy them in packets of a couple of dozen or so from a motor factor in Carcassonne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomoss Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The factor is called Alliance Auto Industries; they have many branches around the country.Plenty on Ebay [url] https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC2.A0.H1.Xspire+clips.TRS0&_nkw=spire+clips&_sacat=0[/url]French name seems to be something like écrou metal or écrou vis tôle, but those on Ebay Fr mostly come from the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
