Can anyone tell me what the name for this type of clip/clasp is pls.One has broken by the air filter so was going to replace em both.Only place I can find them so far is Racetech direct.
I may have to bite the bullet but at nearly £7 p&p my principles won't allow such daylight robbery at the mo.

Doubt it makes any difference but its for a Cerb.

Cheers.

Over centre catch, tension latch:-

I'd personally buy the exact same catch from a TVR supplier, like TVR power ect.
One thing that I would recommend, the catches are held in place from factory with super duper technical fasteners known as rivets and washers! These rivets come loose over time with engine vibration and the washer on the inside of the air box can go missing! I learnt the hard/expensive way. So upgraded to Stainless Steel M4 Button Bolts with nyloc nuts and loctite 270, they were the only retro fit fastener that fitted and superseded the rivets fastening longevity. Personally I don’t like the idea of having any fasteners/washers/nuts inside an air box. I hope companies that are remaking the Speed 6 air box make the fastening completely external to the air flow.
