If these are the ones that hold 3 pipes together, no one makes them AFAIK. I've been looking. If you find some I'd love a set.

Hi
The simply answer is No, all the bigger suppliers said the part is not made.
hence my post. I will contact Richard Smith to see if they can.
many thanks for your info

Clive - a long time ago Colin Ford used to make those pipes up as sets, so he may be worth asking for the clips. I don't have his contact details but he is the JEC tech advisor so his details will be on their website

John Farrell in the USA makes most of the unobtanium smal metal bits for E-types. Www.etypeparts.com
If he doesn't make them I bet he would.

I have made them in the past by using a larger st/steel P clip 18mm dia & removing the rubber lining, then get three pieces of bar the same dia as the pipes & gently using a vice close up the P clip around the three bits of bar you may need to put a taper punch in the hole to make the hole line up works very well.
I know the clips should be plated but the st/steel is a dull finish.
I have also made them by cutting a length of st/steel strip & then bending them the same way, only drilling the hole & cutting to length after bending.
If you don't have any round bar cut the heads of some old bolts.
Hope this helps.

IIRC it was John that I spoke to. He was happy to make them but needed a sample which I didn't have. I think I calculated that only about 350 cars were fitted with the external pipes like this. I want them for a RHD conversion on a car we're doing.PeterCrespin wrote:John Farrell in the USA makes most of the unobtanium smal metal bits for E-types. Www.etypeparts.com

Clive, you can make a former by measuring the diameter of the vacuum pipes and the brake pipe. Get some tubing or bar (drill shanks?) of the same size and lay them out in the correct confighration (2 vac pipes underneath the brake) and them hammer a strip of mild steel (12mm?) over them. This will give you the front shape you need. The strip needs to be long enough to double around itself to form a loop. Drill 2 holes big enough to accept a 1\4 inch bolt to secure the clip to the bulkhead. With a bit of practice you should be able to fabricate them.
