Rear Axle Brake Line Clip PN# 3956700
« on: June 03, 2018, 06:56:49 PM »
I'm reassembling the 12 bolt differential from my 1969 2B build Norwood RS/Z and trying to confirm the correct rear cover brake hose clip and fastener. There is a CRG thread on a related topic but it doesn' specifically address the clip ( http://www.camaros.org/forum/index.php?topic=3123.msg20270#msg20270 ). After researching the Rear Axle Brake Line Clip PN 3956700 I can't locate a photo of a similar one to compare with and the typical (HBC) repop is different and doesn't spec a bolt or washer. I'm confident that neither the diff or rear brake line have previously been out of the car or worked on as the car was sidelined in the 70's with just 22K miles and has the tell-tale signs of not being messed with including the original single-crimp rear brake line etc. My brake line clip uses a non-captured washer and non-shouldered bolt (see photos). It also has the presence of blue dye typical of frame located brake line clamps. I would appreciate opinions on originality

Thanks Jim, entirely different design that my example. Seems there is an air gap between the line and the clip, almost resembles a front brake hose clip.

Here is my original Lloyd. Sorry for the poor picture details. ~46 years of New England road grime. If I can remember before I move, I'll try to climb under there and get a pic of it now after I restored it.

Thanks Dave, would appreciate a post-restoration "after" photo if you have the time and opportunity. From what I can see, the same (as 11) shouldered bold is used and the clip appears to be similar to the HBC repop with flared/eased edges.

Lloyd,
Your clip I have seen before on a couple of Camaros, but its not the normal clip used. The Heartbeat City clip is the correct style. Dave

Dave, thanks for your input. Its becoming clear the clip is not typical however I'd sure like to see photos of other diffs of the period that used it.

I'm trying to contact a friend that has a 01B car. Mine should match Hawks but I will check today or tomorrow. My 68 should look like yours but I will check that also. Both of my cars have stock exhaust so seeing them might be difficult.
Isn't JohnZ car from that date? Who has it now?....Joe

Joe, I believe JohnZ's car is a 2D build date however would certainly like to know which brake clip was installed.

I reviewed the linked thread however wasn't able to locate any photos of the brake line clip - where is it shown?

Rick, thanks for posting, it appears very similar to mine, I'm beginning to believe these were frame mount brakeline clips that were used - on occasion.
