Can anyone tell me where I can buy sink clips? I want to fit a cheap
second hand kitchen sink and of course the clips are long gone. Googling
drowns me in sink adverts and Screwfix don't sell them

Have you thought about using silicon to stick it in place?

Turn sink over. Pipe silicone sealer round the lip. Put sink in place,
fill with water (and possibly other weights on draining board) to hold
in place until set. Who needs clips G

Had to do this twice in rented flats where the tenants had been less
than caring.

Do you happen to have a stock code?

I asked a number of times in my local B&Qs (all warehouses) and kept
being told they only come with the sinks. Of course I took what they
said with a pinch of salt however I couldn't find any myself either...

nevver found they worked anyway.

I usually open up the slots and whack some posidrives into the worktop
sideways.

Another good trick is to lay a bead of 'plastic padding' or 'liquid metal';
down on the worktop aroiund the rim of the cutout, and shove the sink down
onto that, weighting with handy ex-charity shop bibles and the like.

Wipe off any ooze with turps or similar, wait five minutes, and you have a
truly intergrated worktop/sink assembly.

Remove bibles before use.

All solutions noted!

There's me working flat out in a freezing garret [cue violins] trying to
get my job finished by Xmas no time to go shopping Is tru tho I
didn't think of plumbers merchants - hopefully they will still be open
on Friday or if not then B&Q will be

Never used plastic padding or liquid metal so I'll find some in B&Q and
read the instructions. Bibles being a suitably festive feature of the
task

Roll on happy plumbing Xmas day

You have obviously never used proper silicon adhesive then :-)

Ever wondered what holds a fish tank together?

Absolutely ! I actually think it is better than the clips and foam
inserts supplied with the sinks, and certainly has proved sound over
several years where previously agressive 'pumping' to clear a blocked
waste by the tenants had shaken it loose. If they didn't pour hot fat
down the sink they wouldn't have had the problem in the first place.
But perhaps "The3rd Earl Of Derby " hasn't actually 'been there and
done that' !

Halfords Anna. Its car body repair stuff.

May have it in B & Q. You will love it. You can cast all sorts of stuff in
it if you make a plastic mould.

Most old cars used to be held together with it.

I agree that silicone is teh bees ********.

BUT it can be 'shaken loose'
hence plastic padding etc.

Ive crashed cars with that in situ, and the metal gives way before the
repair :-)

Now called something like "repair metal for good" with a little plastic
padding logo. Certainly sold in my local B+Q (Warehouse).
