  • first and second clip portions, each clip portion having a central part and two legs depending from the central part, each leg having adjacent a free end thereof at least one of a groove or a projection for engaging at least one of a respective projection or groove provided on or in the body to mount the clip portion on the body rotationally fast therewith;

    a bridge interconnecting the first and second clip portions, the bridge being less stiff than the clip portions whereby relative rotational displacement of the clip portions caused by torsional distortion of the body will cause proportional deflection of the bridge; and
