Default Dmgrs steering rack gaiters-do they come with the clips?

About to order some inner tie rods for the steering rack and some new gaiters while i am at it. Do the gaiters come with the proper clips supplied? Would like to use the proper metal band ones rather than cable ties. If not supplied then does anyone know the proper name for that type of band?

Hi, can't answer your first question, but if you have to buy some gaiter fasteners, these are some of the best you can get. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Oetiker-St...jAXtKE5iZ3dgMA

I can confirm they come with metal bands, but I would not say they were OEM standard - they were quite thin on the ones I ordered, and one snapped when I was trying to tighten it, so I had to use a cable tie instead. I think I would probably get some good quality slim hose clips to make a neat, secure job of fitting the gaitors.
The e-bay ones shown further up this thread look quite good.

I'll update the listing to reflect the fact they're included - sorry for the confusion.
