[Healeys] Brake Line Clips

[Mark Donaldson]

Mike,

I might be barking up the wrong tree, here, but your bag is labelled CLIP FUEL PIPE.

In my experience they DO NOT double as hydraulic line clips.

This is a larger clip to fit the fuel line which has a bigger OD than the hydraulic lines.

The clips for the brake lines are smaller OD as they have to transmit only pressure, not volume.

I assume they will have smaller holes in the chassis – otherwise they wouldn’t provide a secure fit.

Perhaps this might be the reason they don’t fit in the holes - they are too big.

My BN2 project is slowly progressing, even in this Siuthern California heat.  90+ most days.  The garage is a hot box during the day, so I work mostly on the car after the sun goes down.  Last night I was instally my present brake lines i purchased years ago from the late Doug Finespanner.  His pre-bending was quite good and it was easy to figure out which line went where.  Then I came to installing the hairpin clips to locate the lines.  I have not been able to put one clip in.  Is there some technique to istalling these clips? I tried pinching the top tines with the brake line in the rounded seat and the pushing it in the hole.  I could not get it to go.  Anyone tell me exactly what the clip is supposed to look like, thickness of the clip, etc.  I have the clips supplied by Moss that double for the fuel lines.
