#1 Early 3.8 - Corrugated Oil Breather Clip

Post by heritageclassicsltd » Mon May 24, 2021 6:50 pm

Dear All
I'm asking for help again! I'm trying to source the unique clip that holds the corrugated oil breather hose to the oil breather cap on the front of the cylinder head. Somewhere on the forum its described as being available from a guy in Florida, I've tried many times and methods to contact him to no avail...any other ideas?
Here's a photo of the clip in situ.
Gladly buy one if anyone has one to sell....
Cheers!

According to the Internet, Bill Tracy passed away in 2019.
Presumably his company, Bill Tracy Jaguar Auto Parts of Sarasota, Florida, has closed.
- But -- several articles still appear on the Internet.

Are they very similar to Jubilee quick release "flip lock" or Magna Tex style ... Steve
