I read recently the post about fire extinguishers needing to have the clamps changed and be larger size. Where does this come from? The blue-book?

It seems it is a new FIA requirement for plumbed in systems. The safety instructions from the RACB (the Belgian ASN) for the Spa Summer Classic specifically identify it as a requirement for this year - but it will undoubtably spread. All designed to catch us out at scrutineering.

I have just ordered two retaining straps for the princely sum of £4.56 +VAT - the carriage is more than the cost of the straps......

The normal size sold in the UK of 2.25 ltr is still OK - the RACB have amended their original statement of needing 2.4 ltr.

They are from a fastener specialist found when searching for Mikalor clamps. I've ordered what they describe as T-bolt hose clamps - come in all sorts of sizes. www.hcl-clamping.co.uk.

You may want to wait until they've arrived and I can confirm that they work

Tweeks do them for the same money Brian,thankyou. Just ordered mine but there has been a rush on them [no,really?] £17.25 with post and packing.

[Suppose I ought to make it totally legal before I sell it.]
