The clips are typically made of durable plastic or metal, ensuring they can withstand the vibrations and movements that occur while driving. They are designed to securely attach the molding to the vehicle’s body without causing damage or scratching the paint.

When installing or replacing fender and wheel moldings, it is important to use the correct clips to ensure a proper fit and secure attachment. Using incorrect or mismatched clips may result in loose or unstable moldings that can lead to potential damage or detachment.

Finding the correct part for your vehicle — the power of the OEM number

A1Auto — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 19:50:47 +0000

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer. When it comes to car parts, the OEM number is a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to a specific part.

Each car part typically has its own OEM number, which can be used to identify the part and ensure that it is the correct replacement part for a specific vehicle make and model.

The OEM number is often printed on the part itself or on the packaging, and can also be found in the car’s owner’s manual or service records. If you are looking for a specific car part, it is important to know the OEM number to ensure that you are getting the right part for your vehicle.

It is worth noting that there may be multiple manufacturers that produce the same part, and therefore may have different OEM numbers.

To find the OEM number for a specific car part, there are a few steps you can take:

Check the car’s owner’s manual: The OEM numbers for some parts may be listed in the car’s owner’s manual. Look for a section that lists the specifications or replacement parts for your vehicle.
Inspect the part: If the part is still installed on the vehicle, you may be able to find the OEM number printed on the part itself. Look for a label, stamp, or engraving that lists the part number.
Search online: Many auto parts retailers and manufacturers have online databases where you can search for parts by make and model. You can usually find the OEM number listed in the product description or specifications.
Contact a dealership or mechanic: If you are having trouble finding the OEM number for a specific part, you can contact a dealership or mechanic who specializes in your make and model of vehicle. They may be able to help you identify the correct OEM number for the part you need.

Remember, the OEM number is a unique identifier assigned by the manufacturer to a specific part. Knowing the OEM number can help ensure that you are getting the right part for your vehicle.

Don’t be an idiot — LEARN HOW TO BUY CLAMPS THAT FIT!!!

A1Auto — Fri, 27 Jan 2023 21:48:55 +0000

So this seems to be the most common mistake we get in our ebay store. People are confused about clamp sizes and hose sizes. So they are clamping a 5/8″ hose and they are like “oh cool, that will be a 5/8” clamp then.

WELL NO – NOT USUALLY. If you READ YOUR HOSE, you will see that it is a 5/8″ hose on the INSIDE. THE ID — THE INSIDE DIAMETER. That is how you know how much hose you have for whatever is going through there — water, gas, air, unicorn farts, whatever you are channeling.

When you clamp something, you are CLAMPING THE OUTSIDE — NOT THE INSIDE. Common sense right?? Well apparently not so much as people f- it up all the time. Even when our descriptions lay it out literally in bold letters like we wrote it with crayon where it says – MEASURE THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER. BE SURE TO MEASURE THE OD — OUTSIDE DIAMETER. BE SURE TO MEASURE THE OUTSIDE NOT THE INSIDE DIAMETER OR YOU WILL HAVE FITMENT ISSUES.

Yet, again and again, they mess it up. Part is that people do not read descriptions at all, I get that. And another part is that people are not thinking about it. Well the clamps will not magically transform into the correct one. They will stay the same as the one you ordered. They won’t grow to be larger or smaller because you didn’t measure. So just measure — IT IS THAT SIMPLE

SO HERE IS THIS POST — to hopefully help as a reminder!!!

When you clamp something, you are clamping the OUTSIDE. So if the inside diameter is 5/8″, YOU WILL NEED A CLAMP THAT IS BIGGER THAN 5/8″ How big? The only person that can answer that is you because you can measure the outside diameter of your hose and then order the right one.

So don’t be a ditz, MEASURE AND READ. If something says it fits the OD OUTSIDE DIAMETER, you need to measure that or you will have issues.

How to Buy Hose Clamps without screwing it up

A1Auto — Sun, 03 Apr 2022 16:58:22 +0000

So one of the things we get a lot of returns on are HOSE CLAMPS. Usually with a little complaint that they didn’t fit or they were too small or maybe that we shipped the wrong one because they were so small (even though the box clearly has the size) Its ok, we get it — YOU BOUGHT THE WRONG SIZE. It is a common error

When you have a hose you want to clamp and the hose says 3/8 for example, that is often the INSIDE DIAMETER. You don’t clamp things INSIDE, you clamp them on the OUTSIDE so you need to have the OUTSIDE DIAMETER to get the correct size.

For a lot of hoses, it is written RIGHT ON THE HOSE. Just be careful as the hose will always have the inside diameter on it as well because the INSIDE affects the flow of whatever goes through the hose. If your hose does not have the OD — OUTSIDE DIAMETER – on it, you can easily measure it.

Just remember this simple phrase – CLAMPS ARE LIKE HUGS FOR HOSES – -HUGS GO AROUND THE OUTSIDE

Or whatever little phrase you can invent to make it work

Here are a few of our clamps and OUR CLAMP ASSORTMENT if you are not sure and want to get an assortment

Door Lock Striker Bushing for Ford

A1Auto — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 23:32:51 +0000

Are your Ford doors sagging or not closing right?

Often it can be the striker bushing.

Think about these if that is the case — be sure to check the compatibility as they really only work on Ford vehicles and those vehicles have to be older models earlier than the late 1990s
