they were originally yellow, you should see some of the paint still on them
tests have proven that the final words before a fatal urban car crash are "OH ****"

in a rural car crash they are " Hold my stubby and watch this for skill!"

As far as I'm aware the yellow spring type were introduced with FB. I believe that before this they had a screw type clamp. Ken may be able to enlighten us?

Cheers,

Most early pics show the band type with nut and bolt, but there is a pic with a twin carb story in Modern Motor I think showing the spring clips
