i checked with nissan not too long ago and they had them but they wanted to charge me $5 a clip!!! So I got a whole set from the wreckers for $5 instead.

but 5 dollars a clip is not that bad considering they aren't a part that is sold everyday on a car that is 27 years old.

Agreed, and if I didn't already know that there was an n12 at the reckers round the corner with em I probably would have got em from Nissan to save the hassle of looking. I just like bein a tight arse I guess. Lol.

at least the new clips from Nissan aren't brittle and liable to break as soon as you look at them.

well i went to nissan the price has gone up.
7 dollars a clip lol.
Oh well once I have painted the car and grill I guess its probably best to pay that much.
Oh and 230 dollars for a thermostat switch too from nissian.

Bosch make replacement fan temp switches for about 35 bucks but youll have to have a threaded adapter machined up.
There are a gazillion different styles on just about every FWD car ever made that will work nicely.
They all switch on at as close as fuck is to swearing the same water temps.
Trawl your wreckers.
