Maybe I'm calling them the wrong thing but I can't seem to find factory repro or generic fit clips to hold the hard brake lines to sheetmetal (engine bay in particular).

Are you talking about the rectangular white ones that have a rod/shaft that pushes into the clip to hold it to the firewall/engine bay?

I need two of those as well. Not sure what they are called.

Are you able to find it in the PDF parts catalog to provide a part number or better illustrate where it lives?

The only plastic clip I'm seeing related to hard brake lines is: Pipe Clip (914-1,8V/1,8
914-2,0) 999-507-235-40

If it's like the one Mark posted, and they really are NLA, I could model that and 3D print a handful in ABS. I would just need someone to loan me an original to take dimensions from. I did this one for the 914-6 fuel rail.

It would be FANTASTIC if you would make these available. Can you print them in nylon 6?

Referring to the double fuel line clips shown above.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Those are available new (I have them listed on my site).
The dual fuel line clips Mark posted an example of, I've not found a replacement source for, although Ive been rat-holing good used ones for a while.

I have only printed PLA and ABS, but my printer is capable of handling Nylon.

I'd need someone to loan me an original to take measurements from so I can make a CAD model.

@DennisV

The fuel line clip is 2-pieces, a body and a separate solid ~5mm dia. rod, both of Nylon. The rod inserts into the hole centered in the clip body, and I see subtle bumps inside the hollow tube extension of the hole on the back side of the clip to friction hold the rod in place, once the rod is fully inserted. The two parts are a close tolerance friction fit. The plunger seems to be a uniform OD, not tapered. The clip body holds two fuel lines in parallel. The clip in the photos is broken, but it should have symmetrical arms.

If this cannot be replicated, can something functionally similar be developed and printed?

Your brake line clip (clarified) Are late only 75-76. Amongst the changes to the chassis that we made, doing away with the bendable tabs & replacing them which holes for those clips

I thought I'd share some progress on a project @JeffBowlsby and I have been fiddling with. First prototype.
