NC85ST Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 Look at the thread: “1983.5 4x4 Retirement truck” Page 3 about half way down the page. Is that what you’re looking for? 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 There are a few varieties of those clips, some with panel mounting nubs and some without. I have not had luck finding them in the aftermarket so whenever I teardown any type of donor vehicle, I scour it for those weird little clips and such. GM line separators are bulky and not top quality. Toyota uses high quality and very compact line separators. Go to a pick-n-pull and grab a handful. 1 Quote Link to comment
butter fingers Posted August 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Mr. Stoffregen , i like the way you think . i did just that with my windshield sprayers and i can do it again with the line organizers . i don't know why i didn't think of it first ! thanks , Butter Fingers 2 Quote Link to comment
EDM620 Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Hard things to find for sure, I needed some for the brake & fuel lines to secure to the frame on my build. Sourced a few through Amayama Trading Co out of Japan for OEM parts. They didn't have enough of what I needed so I ended up fabbing my own. Apparently most plastics can absorb water, so I found some HDMW stuff which was easier to "machine" with. After drilling out the appropriate size holes, I slotted them to fit over the lines. Not shown is the new metal cap I made for over the new isolators. 3 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 That's a great idea. HDPE and UHMW are other options. 1 Quote Link to comment
