Long Neck Clips For Suction Cups

[njstockley]

I've just ordered the installation kit #2 (ie the spray bar) for my Eheim external as well as a couple of extension pieces: http/parts.eheim.com/display_product.php?pid=4005310
 
The thing is the suction cups are the standard short ones. I want to run the spray bar on the side of the tank so am looking for the longer clip neck suction cups, but can't find them anywhere. The length of the EX1200 long clips is perfect, but the clip is too small for the diameter of the eheim spray bar. Does anyone know where I can get long neck suction clips from in different diameters (in the UK)?
 
Thanks, and hope that makes sense!

Is it because you have to get the spray bar onto the glass and overcome the strap obstacle? if so, do what I did, and buy the Eheim installation elbows and use 2 to get the spray bar in place, there might be some pictures of it in my tank thread

Yep that's what I'm looking to do - so you just brought an extra elbow and attached it to the first one? Edit - no I see you brought two elbows...

Yeah, I didn't notice that before, but, in my defence, I've bought loads of the installation kits and parts, so I have no idea what I've done and to what ha ha ha

Thanks Nick, I wish I'd gone bigger, but the wife would have killed me ha ha ha
 
Hope the elbows solve your problem, keep me posted
