Yes, they are nasty tinny things and they used to be used during factory assembly of cars. A thin metal strip goes around the hose and nits tail is pushed into the split between the legs of a split pin. The other end is bent around a thin pressed metal "split pin carrier". When you twist the pin the strip wraps around it tightening it onto the hose. Honestly you do not want one and I have no idea where you would get one without trudging round loads of traditional scrap yards. What about one of those "spring steel" clips where you squeeze a pair of extended legs together to open up the spring clip and slide it over the pipe? Tony Brooks
