If this is the "John Bull" strap that has the "T" end on it that goes
through the hole, then I believe that Clarke Spares sells a nice repro.  I
use one to locate the choke cable to one of the heater clamps on my
Bugeye.

>> According to the originality guidelines, the 3000 cars had an
>> odd-shaped, 4 rubber strap used to secure the capillary tube to either
>> the heater hose or to the breather hose between the engine block and
>> firewall.
>> The 4 strap is an unusual shape with two holes and a T shaped end.
>> On a 65 BJ8, how should the strap be attached?
>> To which hose?
>> How are the two holes used?
>> One hole must accept the T-shaped end.  Whats the other one for?
>> Thanks for your help.
