matttnz Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Ok-so the reason for mucking around w the old thread... I've seen in the Moss catalogue these little clips designed to hold the injector pipes but I can't for the life of me quite figure out how they sit? I haven't got any on mine & can't find any images showing them in situ? Are they mythical? Anyone have them sitting in their engine bay? Ta MT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubehopper Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Hi Matt, I also bought these clips and ended up having to fabricate the metal brackets needed to hold them out of a bit of sheet metal, as I too couldn't find the correct brackets anywhere.

matttnz Posted October 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Ah-would be interested in a pic sometime if you have a sec please Dave. Can't quite figure out the arrangement. MT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cubehopper Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Sorry Matt can`t help with that one as I no longer have them fitted. Was never that happy with the look after fitting so removed them and no idea where they went Seem to remember that the bracket was simply a piece of poss 1mm metal bent into a right angle and drilled to sit on one of the rocker cover bolts. The plastic clip was then slid onto the other side and drilled an pop rivetted Sorry I can`t be more helpful Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Denis Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Look like HT lead clips to me...and certainly something I've never seen used for Injector pipes in the 40 something years I've had a Six, nor ever seen on any other Six for that matter! Mine came new with a couple of re usable tie-wraps Edited October 26, 2014 by Denis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
len1 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 They do look like ht lead clips as fitted on my Stag. Len Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobinTR6 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 Yep advertised elsewhere as V8 ignition tidy leads thingy. Never seen on a Tr6 either, I'm sure an expert will illuminate us a soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CONCRETE24 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 Hi, My 6 has those! Never given them much thought though! On mine they are just floating I.e they keep the hoses nicely separated but are not attached to any brackets. As I've never had another 6, I just thought they all had them - hadn't considered attaching them to anything! Regards, Michael Quote Link to post Share on other sites

matttnz Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ah-my TR has an alloy rocker cover & looks like the saloon's must have been beaten flat (unless I'm looking at the wrong thing) Mike-would be interested in a pic of the config if you find yourself w the bonnet open & smartphone in hand... Not necessarily going to put them on but intrigued. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CONCRETE24 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Hi Matt, Sorry this took so long - I very rarely get to see the car these days! Added to that - not really sure it was worth the wait! Hope it proves that you are not really missing out on anything! All the best, Michael.

barkerwilliams Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I too would be interested in these. Two of my injector pipes have rubbed the underside of the bonnet, and have bonnet paint on the injector pipe. It is not a problem now, but I would not like a perforated fuel line above the exhaust manifold so I was thinking of something like these clips to hold the pipes closer to the rocker cover, away from the bonnet. So if anyone knows of a useful part I would be happy to hear from them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clarkey Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hi Mat They fit on the two tabs on the n/s of the rocker box cover. I hope the pics help . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ntc Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) Not fitted as standard ;)to most cars. Edited February 11, 2015 by ntc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 As shown by Dave the rocker covers with the tabs and clips were fitted as standard from 1974 models onwards cheers Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matttnz Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 Thanks guys. All makes sense now. Have a different head so no use for my beastie (and no, definitely don't feel like I'm missing out) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
