Dear all
Please could someone tell me where the Pclip on the hose that takes vacuum from the reservac tank to the Kelsey hayes servo is attached?

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen a photo somewhere of where it goes but I just can’t find it!
It’s on page 117 of the spare parts catalogue
One only on RHD car

Hi Robbiee
There was one on my LHD 3.8, but I think it was for routing of a different hose/cable - possibly the speedo?
Here it is during the restoration as I left it in situ when I converted to RHD.

Yes…there are 3 p clips on LHD but the orientation is different as the vacuum has to come from the tank on the opposite side of the car!
The RHD has only one P clip and I believe it helps hold the vacuum hose down against the left hand side of the master cylinder housing
I’m sure someone will have a picture!!

This picture is the clip for Speedometer cable (LHD) and keeps it angled correctly. I'd have to check on the P Clip location for the vacuum hoses.

Thanks Tadek
That looks good for LHD
I reckon the RHD one goes as in my picture below
It seems to make the pipe curve correctly

Only on this forum could we all find the position of single P clip “interesting”
I’m not even sure that I’ve got it under the correct nut!!
Does anyone think it should go on the one above instead??
Some nerdy chap out there must know
