FAQs
What is the primary purpose of these spring clips?
These clips are designed to securely fasten panels on vehicles, such as bonnets and boot lids, to prevent them from opening accidentally, especially during high-speed or high-vibration conditions common in motorsport.
Are these clips suitable for everyday road cars?
While they can be fitted to road cars, they are specifically designed and recommended for competition use (race, rally, motorsport) where panel security is critical and standard latches may be removed or modified.
What is included in the package?
Each package contains a pair of stainless steel Terry Spring Clips, corresponding receptacles, and the necessary mounting hardware for installation.
Can these be used on materials other than metal panels?
The clips are designed for securing vehicle panels, typically metal. Ensure that the mounting surfaces are strong enough to withstand the tension and forces applied by the spring clips.
How do I clean the spring clips?
Clean the clips with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the stainless steel finish.
What is the material of the spring clips?
The clips are made from durable stainless steel.
How many panels can one pair secure?
One pair of spring clips is designed to secure one panel (e.g., one bonnet or one boot lid).
Troubleshooting
Spring clip not engaging securely
Check alignment between the clip and receptacle. Ensure mounting hardware is fully tightened. Verify that the panel is closing fully.
Clip is too stiff or too loose
Adjust the mounting position slightly to alter the angle of engagement. For extreme stiffness, ensure no obstructions; for looseness, consider alternative mounting points or reinforcement.
Mounting hardware is missing
Contact the retailer or Grayston support for replacement hardware. Ensure you have the product model number ready.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
