Where Can I Get This Part?
« on: August 01, 2011, 01:57:08 PM »
Vacuum line clip? Dual brake line retainer? �

What are these things called? �Are they Willys specific? �Can I even get them or will I have to fabricate these?

You can probably find them at a hydralics shop or supply house. Air Hydro maybe or Parker.

Here's a couple more pics from the Yellow Willys. �They show that instead of the authentic clips Larry referenced, I actually just used a couple of hose clamps or line clamps meant to attach a hose or line to a fender or firewall. �I screwed them together to hold the two vacuum lines together without the lines actually touching each other. �I used the same style clamp only larger to attach the wiring harness to the fender as shown. �They were about 32 cents each at the local hardware store. �(Larry is still amazing by the way. �We all benefit from his sources and knowledge.)

Terrific.
Thank you for all the ideas.  Calvin, thanks for letting me borrow your photo.  I really like the way you ran your vacuum and fuel lines.  I have duplicated the bends and routing almost exactly.  My fuel pump is not the original style, and my vacuum manifold connection is on top vs. front,  so I have to modify the runs accordingly.  I have a question about the pump I bought, but I will start a new subject.  Don't want to highjack my own post.

Thanks again.
