Richard71 Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Is there anyone out there that can make & supply a decent bracket/clamp for securing and tidying up the slack in the injector lines? Something that fastens onto the rocker cover, specifically an alloy rocker cover with it's deeper recess at the studs. I'm not keen on a cable tie or strap idea. More than happy to pay for time & materials. Richard, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barkerwilliams Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Richard, If you can't get a custom one try a couple of sets of these for a tenner. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/FREE-SHIPPING-EPMAN-SPARK-PLUG-WIRES-BILLET-WIRE-SEPARATORS-DIVIDERS-DEFAULT-BLUE-OTHER-COLOR-BY-ORDER/32442859911.html?spm=2114.search0104.3.302.3c624ebfQ9Ip8C&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_2_10152_10151_10065_10344_10130_10068_10324_10342_10547_10325_10343_10340_10548_10341_10192_10190_10084_10083_10615_10307_10301_10303_10313_10059_10314_10184_10534_100031_10604_10103_10142,searchweb201603_6,ppcSwitch_5&algo_expid=41f825f3-9f5c-4bda-b4b7-c4ff065f1ba2-41&algo_pvid=41f825f3-9f5c-4bda-b4b7-c4ff065f1ba2&priceBeautifyAB=1 Solid anodised aluminium in a choice of colours.

Richard71 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thanks Alan, I've thought of those before but they still need fixing to the rocker cover and fabrication is really not my forte. Richard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stuart Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Expensive but there is these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mercedes-Fuel-Injection-Line-Pipe-Holder-Clamp-Bracket-A0009951407/292199675446?epid=10008297008&hash=item4408753636:g:UWUAAOSwfVJZfmEC Stuart.

john.r.davies Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Richard, IMHO, it may not be a good idea to tie down the injector hoses. But tieing them together as they cros over the top of the engine might do the job? This set of plug lead ties is very cheap and offers several ways of doing so: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/112275090392 John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ahhh Stuart, That's precisely the idea I had this morning and removed a clamp to suits six pipes from a scrap Volvo Penta engine we have in our yard. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

john.r.davies Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 Different, higher frequency vibration, more wear more fatigue. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saffrontr Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 The later 1974 on TR6 used clips which separated the injectors. The clips themselves attached to brackets on the rocker cover however not really necessary to do so if all you are doing is tidying up the injector pipe runs. These clips are available from the likes of James Paddock for not very much money and the later rocker covers come up fairly regularly on eBay. http://www.jamespaddock.co.uk/injector-pipe-retaining-clip-holds-x4-2 cheers Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
