Clip and ferrule for manifold drain pipes

[Bob_Spidell]

Anyone got photos for the proper arrangement of these? They are item# 36 on this page:

My BJ8 never had them, so the drain tubes just hung loose off the manifold. This has never presented a problem, but I might be taking my pan off and thought I'd add these to sweeten the deal. They also appear to take a longer pan bolt--does it really matter?

Thanks, Steve. An obscure detail for sure; not sure I can get my drain tubes to conform to the proper shape without kinking, but I'll give it a go. Also, explains the need for the two longer pan bolts.

One other thought about the tubes. They can vibrate with the engine running and create a very strange noise. Solution is to put a grommet on the tab that attaches to the engine isolating the pipes and the engine direct metal to metal contact.

I believe that is the purpose of the 'rubber ferrule' in the Moss diagram. 'A grommet by any other name ...'
