The keyword you need is 'Fascetta coppiglia' and use Google.it / ebay.it / amazon.it

e.g. https://www.amazon.it/Fascetta-nastro-metallico-coppiglia-9x600/dp/B07YZQLGFN

But actually what you should do is ask me, as I bought a lifetime supply of these (100 clips and rolls of metal tape, 2 different widths) some while ago and can probably send you what you need. Let me know the width required and I'll see if I can help.

'Cotterpin' improves the Internet search. AlfaStop in the UK have them listed.

 Thanks Tim  

  Otherwise a GPO surplus sale,

We used to use them when I was an apprentice with God's Poor Orphans that became Post Office Telecommunications that became British Telecom that seems to have vanished. They were used to clamp cable joint enclosures up so water couldn't get in. It still did.

Water in the petrol?

I must admit I was surprised how easily it started and even ran briefly with no choke despite not being fully warmed up. The weather has socked in again up here as I was going to treat it to some lead additive and a fresh gallon of petrol and give it a 10 lap blast round the units so it will have to wait. I will have to resist giving it too much choke next time out and keep those plugs happy. Not so sure about the shelf life of E5 petrol but it does seem to last a bit longer than has been known in the past.

Somehow I might have got mixed up with something else but I definitely  remember Vespa for something Fulvia...

What a brilliant reply. Can't see any on the various websites though. It is 'the sardine tin' screw type which I would like.

Vespa stockists but be sure to get the broader band

on the subject of not keeping fuel in your classic this may be ok if it is sufficiently  modern to have a plastic tank, but it is asking for trouble if it is a steel  tank. Steel rusts (just peer into any steel tank) in contact with moisture laden air (typical conditions for storage from autumn to spring), this leading to rust  getting into the fuel system blocking jets etc and rotting out the top of fuel tanks. I have always put my cars away with a full tank (near as dammit) when I am not using it. Never had any running problems 6 months later.

Tim,
I've always used E5 in 'Fay' without any additive since we were first forced to use it.
I now use the latest E5 98/99 octane and I'll never use E10.
The pre E10 E5 was never a problem , but we're now told petrol goes 'off"  and won't keep, but does this also apply to E5 now? as I usually keep the tank full over winter as well.
