Can any one recommend a place that can replate fuel line and brake line clips.  Thanks Ron.

I really don't know what all colors or types of plating he does. He did tell me if I needed anything from chrome to cast to contact him and he would do it. I guess you could give him a call. His number (559) 875-0290.

Fair enough.. Those clip were blue (some olive green, some drab red depending their size) and were painted from what I remember reading. :)
Only the blue size were used on Camaros..(?)

E Mail sent to brake boosters. com. (Blackoutsteve) I am real sure my brake line clips are green the clip above in the pick was on fuel line. I understand what 3/8 means but what is the other mark in the pic. and thanks for steering me to Brakebosters.com. I can send a few things to him.

Have you considered simply replacing them?
The first clip looks like GM3952717 or B-10024 on pg 147
Some of the brake clips are green. GM3952718 or B-10023 pg 147. 0.31 capacity.These were used on the 3/16 brake line but over the spring guard.

The next one you have looks like B-13388 on pg 146, but it's not blue.
Where did that clip come from off the car?
I have a 69 AIM and I don't see the corresponding GM number.

Thanks for the link 69z28302!  And what is that mark stamped in to Sauron327 clip ? Looks like an anchor in the picture.

Post by: BlackoutSteve on January 12, 2011, 10:34:17 AM
That would be the trade mark of the manufacturer.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think AMK may own the rights to that now.
Behind the front cover of their catalog, that anchor is the first in a list of other "AMK Trademarks".

See lower page 2.

Inline Tube also makes fuel/brake line clips (including the blue ones).
