They are called hog rings here in the US. I used to buy them from JC Whitney Co. I'm sure some of the vintage upholstery shops in UK should have them, if you knew what they are called. There are also spacial pliers for crimping them.

Woolies sell hog rings and pliers, they are not zigzag though.
Is this what you need?

Thanks for the reply.
No, its not hogrings (same name in UK) - although they are used on the seats, these are wider metal clips, used to actually hold the zigzag surpentine wires together in the seat and backrest webing structure.
I've a photo but having trouble uploading it at the mo!

I?ve had a look but can?t find the post.

Thanks for the suggestions and great help Gents.
I searched Border Wire Clips and found just the thing.
J. A. Milton Upholstry Supplies have very close copies of the original - so I ordered from them.
Many Thanks,
