Geko Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Calling to collective wisdom as I'm looking for clips to chassis for the fuel and brake lines. I don't want the original clips that attach to the lower flange of the chassis because I want the lines to seat centered on the inner face of that chassis section just like on the attached photo. I have one sample of the type of clip I could use - not sure where to source this though - see photo. Any bright ideas about what type of clip where to source them ? Initially I didn't want to drill the chassis and I suppose this is a must but if any alternative in mind, I'm all ears. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hi Stef, how about this style #69 https://www.moss-europe.co.uk/shop-by-model/triumph/tr2-4a/brake-system/brake-controls-hydraulics/brake-pipes-tr4a.html This is for brake & clutch but it would be easy enough to knock something up similar out of copper pipe.

BRINDUS44 Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 These are the clips missing from the chassis picture, and used on TR5/6. Hold 1 x 5/16 fuel pipe and 2x 3/16 pipe. Available from Moss and others. Fixed by 2 x pop rivets. Regards Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Regards Ian +1 I fitted a couple of new ones to my TR6, the pipes (2+1) on a TR6 PI fit nice and cannot chaff. Waldi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malbaby Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Ebay and other sites for the clips. I used similar clips to your pics and tek screws with a little sealant under the clips. Using pop rivets may be neater if "Waldi's" clips can be sourced and they suit your application re size and position. Edited May 11, 2019 by Malbaby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ianc Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 If you don't want to drill the chassis, the self-adhesive clips really do stick fast to a flat surface. I've not used them for pipes, but have for electric cables. Easy to disconnect/re-connect the cable or pipe. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geko Posted May 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Thanks all for your ideas and inputs. I found this local to me. It's neat and has the desired specs. I discarded the adhesive option because of exposure to the elements, wouldn't last. Edited May 17, 2019 by Geko add Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Highlights the issue precisely of ending compulsory MOT tests for Classic Cars. Something of a Pandora’s Box really especially as much of the repairs are DIY on these cars. Timebomb.
