Front Brake Line Clips

[jhorton3]

Does anyone have part numbers for the clips that hold the front left brake line to the crossmember?

They are called a hairpin clip.

Usually stolen of of cars going to the crusher.

Think I would ask Tony, he is always parting something out.

However, anyone might have a couple, you need two on that cross member.

you might be talking about vb part # 14-800. see page 108 (catalog sm.49)

That's it. Cheep enough at 2 bucks each, think there are only 6 on the whole car. Two in front, four under the tunnel for the rear brake line and the fuel line.

i have some extras that came with my brake hose kit that Im willing to part with. they are black plastic. couple bucks to cover shipping?

 

[jlaird]

Hmm, should be metal. At least the orginals are.

 

[Branson]

these are a black nylon like material and are 2 pieces. theres a fitting that presses into the holes in the body or whatever and then theres a y shaped piece that locks into the fitting and holds the brake line.

 

[fmichaels]

mine are metal and look like they are a pressure fit

They should be metal if they are original parts! They are kind of a "V" clip that pushes into the mounting hole! I do not know how plastic ones would hold up in the long run, though I am not sure they are absolutely necessary so long as the line is routed out of harms way! They will certainly prevent "buzzes and rattles" of the line against anything else!! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif
