I am looking for the nylon/plastic clamps (and plastic pins that hold the clamps in place) that hold the fuel lines to the lower external firewall, and in the engine compartment, right side. I need 3 (at least) but would like a few extras just in case one breaks.

Is there a VW part equivalent out there?

See picture below for part clarification.

Thanks,

Greg

I'm looking for these too; were they used in VWs ?

Hi Jim,

Knowing how VW crossed used so many parts between the 914 and VW's (such as door strikers, etc.), I can only assume they used these clips elsewhere. I'm hoping someone on this forum may know. Anyone??

There is a like 911 part but I cannot tell what it really looks like from the picture in the PET. It's 911.356.543.01. I ordered 3 from AA. I'm interested to see if they are even close in size and function. They are a cheap experiment at $1.31 each. I'm trying to keep the parts for my restore correct so I'm not sure I would use them if they weren't REAL close. But for those who are looking for a good replacement, they may work.

I will let you know what I find out.

Hi Guys,

If Mikey wants to reproduce these items, I'll donate my new ones, or $20.00 each.

BTW: When I purchased NOS ones from the Porsche dealer the center round shaft is black & the original ones had the same color clear shaft. I suggest any repo's all have the same color like from the factory.

Not a VW crossover part. I looked in the Type 3,4 and Van stuff.

Are these going to be used for repro?

Posted by: gcrotvik Nov 11 2012, 11:09 AM

Yes, that's my goal. I will call Mark (Mikey) this week to see if be can make copies.

UPDATE: I just spoke to Mark (Mikey) and he is interested in making these clips. I will get a sample to him early next week. I don't know how long it will take to get them setup for production. I will update this post and let you know when I know more. Stay tuned.

Oh, and by the way, THANKS MARK for keeping us in pretty reproduction parts!
