Lost Clip

[cleverdicky]

Anyone know pt no or where to get a replacement 'clip' found on the radiator for auto gearbox cooling hoses. I've just ordered two replacements for the water hoses on the rad but the gearbox ones (just a miniature version) aren't shown or listed anywhere. Even looked on the russian site. Perhaps they show them in wis?
I'll post a pic of where I mean if needed.
Probably the same for many cars but mine is a c180 w203 auto.

Many thanks
Meantime here's a copy from russian site of lines / hoses. Shows the O'rings but not the clips

It shows 2 clips 380 and 390.

the listing will show the part Nos for those and how many needed.

Just to be clear. Are the clips the ones that retain the pipes into the radiator tank and are behind O rings 355 - 365 in the drawing? Little bent horseshoe shaped thingys?

If so...they sound the same as the ones in the 211 cooler and I was told they are part of the radiator (ie, they come with it and not on their own). I would love to be proven wrong.

Yes mate, that's the ones.
Dont say things like that I'll have nightmares. Actually I'm already having nightmares will just get worse.

Here's a pic I upped to the other forum also.
It is those wire ones no doubt.

Yeh, that's what I was told as well. How friggin naff is that? Buy a new rad for a couple of pence worth of clip?
