I've been trying to buy this clip forever and can't seem to get it right.





The part number, per various sources is 999.166.017.02. However, when I tried to buy this from AA they told me the part number has been superceded and they sent me two zip ties???

I've tried to Google it and get 5 different results. Why are these so hard to find?

I'm starting to get a complex.

Does anyone know where to get these or have any for sale?

Thanks

IIRC I got some from Sierra Madre Collection earlier this year. Look at their website under 914 & brake parts.

Sorry, but that is funny ...


If you can't get them new, places like HPH or EASY will probably have boxes full of used ones.

AHA!

The correct part number is 914.355.665.00.

Tom you are awesome.

You guys are the best, thanks again 914 World members.

Drinks on the house...

OK, am I thinking too much?

They call those 'brake hose clips' and not brake cable clips. Also, the other references to them via Google show these used on the brake hoses.

Are the clips for the hoses and cables one and the same??

Now I'm really confused.

Maybe I should just use the zip ties....

that does not look like a brake line clip but we have plenty of brake line "C" clips on the shelf!!

The picture I included was a clip I bought at a local hydraulic shop - in sheer desperation. It is not the real clip - just an idea of what it looks like

I am looking at the factory parts book and it shows that part number printed with a line through it and a new part number listed under it as 113.611.715A listed as "Holder"!

You can purchase them from lots of bug shops Clip available here![u]

Thanks Jeff. That new part number gets a lot more action on a search.

I guess my only question is whether that brake 'hose' clip will also work on a hand brake cable?

Are they the same size?

Is that why you sent him tie wraps? That's just hilarious. And the fact that you now come along proclaiming to have the real parts in stock is over the top.

Moparrob, please, please tell us what AA "brake line clips" cost you.

Here's a real picture of the clip that holds the ebrake cable to the trailing arm. The part number in your original post is correct. Your best bet to find this part is to post a WTB with my picture in the classifieds, or call EASY 510.653.3279

The clip that holds the rubber brake fluid hose IS NOT the same.

A tip for next time: mention WHAT the part your looking for is, not just a picture of some random part from the hardware store.

that appears to be a cable tie to me sir

Ahhh McMark. The Holy Grail!

I am truly indebted to you. Now THATis the correct clip. You sir are truly a gentleman and scholar.

I'll find two of these and will be good to go.

Thanks again.

I just sent an email to AA customer service with a pic of that clip (the one I originally ordered) so hopefully they'll straighten this out tomorrow.

I have to agree with Andy... That is just too freakin' funny for words!!!

Those are the wrong ones that I thought I needed. If you see McMark's picture - those are the C-clips I actually needs.

Are zip ties the duct tape for the new millenium?

I don't know? I am looking at the Factory 914 parts Manual List and "if" you are talking about the brake line at the rear trailing arm the part numbers I listed are the correct numbers, right out of the book! I can scan it if you want.

It looks like the clip you are wanting is the 999.166.017.02 locking ring which is for the E-brake cable!

$0.50 each!

Something I read on audizine.com seems appropriate here. "That's bat-shit crazy."

Can we please see the invoice and a picture of the zip ties? This is Hall of Fame stuff...

Maybe they're NOS zip ties from the lost warehouse...

no no no.... didint' you guys get the email? They bought the original zip-tie molds, spent millions having them reconditioned and are now making the only truly original zip tie copies...

It's not safe to skip a thread in this joint. You never know when classic irony and entertainment will break out. I love this place!

$2.15 each .....please tell me you didnt pay that ! if so I thick AA owes you a kiss cause god knows they just fucked you hard.....JMO

YEP! That's the one I ordered. AA is looking into it and hopefully they'll send the right ones out soon.

Was that with shipping? Thank you for sharing such an embarrassing prison fuck! I would have kept that to myself. Nah, who am I kidding, I like to let y'all laugh at me when I get screwed over.

In other words, they are molded out of the wrong material, the wrong color, and the wrong texture (and probably molded from a distorted or melted original). Much too brittle and thick to work. (that is IF they arrive to you in one piece)
