Super difficult for me to install MS21919 cushioned clamps to hold plastic tubing around the rudder cables inside "center cosole" under access panel. I really hate to struggle for 5-6 hours. Any tricks?![]()

"I have more holes in my fingers from safety wire than I care to think about."
Yep, me too! I've always thought that it was misnamed.

Gerry, At work in the tool crib, we have a little "U" shaped shim with a lip on the back edge. ... I am trying to find out what they are called and where to purchase them from. ... Goodluck..... Marcus.
Any luck finding the info on what they are called? How about a picture?
Sorry Bubblehead, I am currently in Singapore, and wont be back in the Hangar until the end of January. I rang the Toolcrib and he told me these clips are called CLIPITS... Marcus.
John, I have sent you an Email with the Pics. Didnt know how to post pics. If you can, please post the pics for all to see. Thanks Marcus.Thanks for the description Marcus. I hope things are going well in Singapore. When are you going to be back home? I'd still like to see a picture of the Clipits.
Gerry, At work in the tool crib, we have a little "U" shaped shim with a lip on the back edge. The idea is you put the #10 screw, into the compressed clamp, then slide "slotted shim" into the first thread below the shank of the screw. This will hold the clamp compressed on the screw. Then install the screw into the anchor nut a couple of threads, and pull the shim out from between the clamp and anchornut by gripping the lip with a pair of longnose pliers. I am trying to find out what they are called and where to purchase them from. The other method we commonly use, is the lockwire method around the clamp as suggested by jte65. Someone else may be able to help as to where to get these clips from. Goodluck..... Marcus.
