Chassis clips for brake/fuel lines

[pfarber]

Evidently this is not a GM part any more. None of the usual vendors had it (Jim Carter, Classic Chevy).

Seems like the G506 has its own special brake line clip.

These type are on all 3 chassis I have.. so its not a fluke/random replacement

The tang that comes up.around the line is thinner and comes to a point. None of the clips I have found yet duplicate this.

There was a SMALL glimpse of hope from Americian Classic Truck Parts PN FA-112. It lists as a 1/4 inch fuel/brake line clip:

It IS a dead on identical part.. discontinued

It seems that the GM J-style clip is the name.. there is a SMALL difference though:

The two small circular holes on the side of the clip are missing. Other than that it seems to be a good match.

http://www.getdiscbrakes.com/rsclp37 seems to located in Pitt, Ohio. I tried their checkout feature and for 6 clips ($6) the UPS shipping was $0. I will be calling them to see what shipping would be.

I can only hope they have a sane shipping price... not the standard $9 UPS minimum shipping charge.

Heres a perfect match??, but on the high priced side!

That looks very very close.

Even at $8 each you really only need a few.

How does $2.50 each sound??

Good find... Ordered a dozen of them and a couple of the 1/4-5/16 fuel line clips too.

I'm gonna grab a few also.

Now for clutch heads bolts and screws.....

I'll have to look though my manuals. One of the early ones had several pages of standard hardware type stuff with illustrations, sizes, part numbers, etc. Will see if I can find it.

The clutchhead screws are available from a number of vendors, including american classic truck parts, classy chevy, usa, the filling station, Jim Carter, etc.
