I about to fit a Sink into a worktop in a utility room i'm making
I'm just workign out the position and everything, when i looked at the mounts - I have in the past had small clips that hole the sink in - BUT not on this B&Q sink we purchased back in 2019 when we first planned to do the utility

I have attached some pitcures of how the sink is expected to be fitted to the worktop with the supplied clips - Which is not really going to work -

I have also purchased some clips off amazon, (see image also ) which i thought should work - arriving tomorrow - BUT on reflection I dont think they would work , as the sink would just lift off those - Unless i can fix into the side of the sink somehow

any suggestions ???

I used CT1 for a lot of applications and have used there Bathroom silicon BT1 and also some of there new caulk and been very impressed - I suppose i could use the grab adhisive they have now
C-Tec Power Grab n Bond Construction Adhesive 290ml

When I fitted our kitchen sink and utility sink, I found the adhesive/sealer was more than adequate. The clip just pulled the sinks tight down to the sealant, and took up the any slight distortion.
