[Healeys] Short rubber strap

Charlie,

You wrote: How are the two holes used?
One hole must accept the T-shaped end.  Whats the other one for?

These straps, originally made by John Bull, were made for the motocycle 
industry to secure cables (brake, clutch, throttle, valve lifter, magneto 
advance, choke) to the frame.  In thecase of the bikes, the proper 
installation is to wrap the strap around the cable and pass the "t" and 
through the first hole and pull it tight so the strap is secured tightly 
around the cable.  The strap is then fastened around  the motorcycle frame 
and  the "t" passed through the second hole to secure it.  The application 
in the HEaley is totally different.  Also, I do not think this was done on 
all 3000's, just the earlier ones.
