Where in Melbourne could I buy something like this spring clip?

And here is Beck's response (typed prior to GQ 's and DJ's posts)

regarding zimoun.. that's great! i have seen some of their videos before. i like how straightforward all of the projects are.
I will check out the various clips at bunnings. i have checked and the diameter of the motor is only 21mm

i've been to jaycar and once spoken to a guy who was incredibly helpful. listened to what i was trying to achieve and offering me a number of options. no one else i've ever spoken to spoken to has even really listened to what i was saying when i've gone in

in regards to phil's offer, that sounds fantastic! i haven't actually decided on the final number of motors i will be using..

the idea of using zip ties is interesting. i think i have a few here that i can try the idea out with

thanks so being so helpful everyone. i appreciate it!

I'll have a quiet word with her about the use of capital letters. Text message generation.

The ones I have are most certainly too large, but the correct size would be available at Bell Springs. Friday's are allways a dumpling day, if you wanted to venture Northcote to Thomastown. Your father can explain that.

In regard to cable tie's and cable bases. Bunnings will have the self adhesive one's. Double sided tape. Grrrr. I have a special place in hell meant for them.

I'd have a few sizes of screw-down cable tie base's , I wouldn't miss.

Regards Phil.

Now why do I get the feeling you're going to need lots of good luck.

Does anyone know a shop they could recommend that may stock a range of this type of clip? She had asked at Jaycar and the friendly sales person told her to do her own research, a bit hard when you don't know what something is called, hence the call to her old man. Beck lives in Northcote.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bob,

In the UK this clip is known as a "Terry Clip". Often made from stainless steel.
A cheap alternative is the "P" clip. These can easily be made but can be purchased in both plastic and metal.
A third alternative but much more expensive is a "Capacitor Clip (Clamp)".

HTH.

The place Beck's request into some sort of context, here are a couple of pages from her project proposal. I've moved on from trying to get her to draw with vanishing points.
