Post by: BuickGS65 on November 08, 2016, 05:45:02 PM: I currently do not have any spares, so I would need to borrow one from a member here (it will be returned to you). Anyone have a spare they are willing to loan (or sell) me?

Also, I'd like to get a rough idea of how many people would be interested in purchasing so that Mike knows there is a demand.

Thanks

Post by: telriv on December 11, 2016, 10:54:11 PM: Depending on $$$ I would be interested in 3 sets (6 clips) to keep in stock. I am doing enough of these rebuilds to warrant the expense in the quest to do things RIGHT.

Post by: 35chevcoupe on March 11, 2017, 07:26:49 PM: Dan ,
I was digging thru ( whats left of it ) my parts car and found this bracket / clip , is this the clip that you are thinking of having reproduced .
At first glance I almost tossed it but then I thought to my self , HEY wait a minute Ive seen a picture of this thing .
If this is indeed the fuel line clip you could Borrow this one to get some re made . The only thing i,m curious about is the way its made it appears that there may be a left and right ? :dontknow: .
I fit it up to my oil pan ( if thats where it fits ) and it fits on one side good but not the other side .

Bump! A new 66 GS owner has asked me about these clips....

Hi Walt!

Loren and I are still working on getting these made with the help of Mike Garrison. I actually just followed up with Mike on the project earlier this week - I am waiting to hear back - understandably so, given the fire at his shop. I believe the clips were at his friend’s machine shop at the time of the fire. I will post an update as soon as I hear back from Mike G. Thanks!
Title: Re: Oil Pan fuel line clips
Post by: BuickGS65 on April 28, 2018, 05:52:29 PM: I heard back from Mike G. He has them made already but the tooling guy is still making the stamp to be able to press out the center yet. He said the bending is easy after that. Looks like this is project is going to happen! Stay tuned.
Title: Re: Oil Pan fuel line clips
Post by: WkillGS on April 28, 2018, 09:15:00 PM: Thanks Dan!
Jeff should be signing up shortly, He picked up a sweet 4 speed 66. Good to hear Mike is back on his feet after the fire at his shop.
