Z28 Front Brake Hose clips
« on: December 17, 2020, 08:48:21 PM »
Does anybody happen to have for sale serviceable clips which hold the front caliper flex lines to the upper control arms?

Our passenger side clip is missing and the Assembly Manual does not illustrate passenger side mounting.

Apparently the passenger side upper control arm in this car has been replaced. There is no threaded hole for the self-tapping machine screw nor hole for the clip's tab.

Heartbeat City offers what seems to be a flame-cut clip but it is flat, not formed as were the factory clips.

Thank you.

The originals were flat as well. They are just bent around the sleeve on the hose.
I will grant you the laser cut or what ever are too crisp.

The straps from HBC will require some significant heating and forming to match the bends in the one original which I have.
