#1 Etype 2+2 Series 1 1966 Fuel Line Clips

Post by baldyz1 » Wed Jan 08, 2020 10:52 am

After 4 years of toil my 2+2 series 1 is reaching the end of a comprehensive restoration.

As I have gone down the rocky road of concours we are finishing those more difficult touches.

It appears that the fuel line clips that secure the pipe under the car are different from the 3.8 and possibly the standard 4.2. The apperture does not take the standard clip offered by SNG for this purpose.

I am wondering if anyone with an original 2+2 can help in this area. Perhaps you have a car thats apart or maybe have looked at this.

All help gratefully received.

I now wish we had taken more photos than we did when we took things apart 4 years ago.

Thanks
Chris

I finally found a solution for anyone that stumbles on this.

Similar clips were used by Austin Healey.
