“Eureka Moment”

There was a Eureka moment yesterday when I realised I had a solution to my hose clip conundrum.  Rather than buy a clip I could use a 3 inch length of the 20mm PVC water pipe I’d just thrown into the rubbish bin.  By cutting part of the side of the pipe out with a hacksaw I could make a clip.

After cleaning up the rough edges from the hacksaw blade it was Sikaflexed to the vertical end of the side locker wall.

If the Sikaflex doesn’t hold I’ll secure the clip with a couple of machine screws.  I do like a simple and cheap solution.
