We are close. I am looking for the piece those clips attach to. Should be
close to a 5/8" x 2 1/2" small bracket with two holes. One for the manifold
stud and the other for the clip in the picture below.

I think these may be the clips that you are referring to BHA4081 but I'm not
sure that they went back to the MkI

The "clip" shown in the photo is something you can fab up yourself. The
lower hole is the size of the manifold stud.  The top hole is where the real
clip, the clip that actually holds the capillary tube, fits into.  It is
smaller than the stud hole. Can't tell you precisely here, but the size is
critical to hold the small clip securely.  The clip I am referring to is
very similar to the clip that holds the slave cylinder clutch hydraulic line
to the right side footwell, in the vertical position.

Hello,
 
My car was missing the clips to support the water temperature gauge
capillary pipe part number AHB5397. It looks like the design was changed
sometime during the Mk II production or later. My car is a Mk I. The part I
am looking for is No. 25 on the attached PDF. It is not available from the
"usual suspects" on either sides of the pond.
 
Does anyone know a source? I can make the part but would like to have a
sketch to work from. I am fine with used parts in reasonable shape as well.
 
Any assistance is appreciated.

PS - A significant contributor to over heating when slowing down after a
long drive is the lower water flow generated by the water pump. Lets face it
the the AH cooling system is marginal and there is no magic solution. Best
practise says use a water and antifreeze mixture, make sure there are no
restrictions in the radiator (tubes starting to plug), drill a 1/16" hole in
the thermostat to help eliminate any trapped air, add a coolant overflow
with the right cap to maximize water in the system, use a 5 or 6 blade fan
and keep all of the shrouding in place.
