I gotta admit, I didn’t expect this part to be unobtainium!
Item 32 and 33 on the PET are the little plastic clips that secure the fuel lines in the engine bay. Is there no source or reproduction for these parts? @Mikey914 can you assist? Attached thumbnail(s) |

well if one can't be manufactured at economical set up costs.
there is stuff out there that is close. with potential. haven't looked too far and wide yet. but i sniffed up this nissan clip that could have potential. https://www.efisolutions.com.au/fuel-line-c...3-r34-wc34-awc3 there is also this jetta/golf fuel line clip which could be cut down by trimming the two end channels off it. and possibly fixed with a screw drilled through the hole in it. https://www.heritagepartscentre.com/uk/1912...-line-clip.html i'll keep looking. at least the ones i am coming across are white plastic and press in snap fittings for the lines. so sort of close. i have just had to this with the rs clio i have. discovered the vapor line to the charcoal can had lost a couple of clips and had been dangerously dangling near the accessory belt and pulleys. all hidden from sight until you burrowed down near the crankshaft pulley nicely jammed up against the inner fender well. if it had bounced against that it might have taken out the belt. which then takes out the cam belt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) engine good bye when that happens in one of these. i was motivated. i found some ford pipe clips that fitted beautifully and held it in its proper place out of harms way. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) with a bit more research it might be possible to turn something up that is close. i swear i have seen something close to the 914 clips and it was either on a SAAB or a peugeot. |
