Sink fixing clips

[jwilliams]

We're fitting a 2nd hand sink into a new worktop. Unfortunately, we've lost all but one of the fixing clips somewhere along the way.

We've gone round all the local builders merchants, plumbing merchants, DIY sheds & wheelie bins, and can't find anyone who can get them.

Does anyone have any ideas where we might be able to find some?

Not quite, those are for mounting an undermount sink.

I'll see if I can find a picture of what we need - they're effectively a metal clip which attaches to the underside of the sink, with a screw through the clip with clamps the sink to the worktop.

Don't bother, just put a bead of good quality transluscent sealant all the way around the underside of the sink, put the sink in and weight it down until the sealant goes off. Then trim any excess sealant that has bulged out with a razor blade or similar.

Thanks Eddie, we'll give it a go.

no its much more fun trying to get under the sink, lay on your back and hold the clip in place in the pitch black, whilst trying to screw it up to get it to bite properly......on second thoughts go with the mastic idea!
