Fuel line to Chassis clips
8 posts
• Page 1 of 1
What are people using to clip the nylon fuel line to the top of the chassis tunnel these days?
Lotus originally used "Omega" clips 036L6003:
I have checked with Sue Miller, SJ Sportscars & RDent who have nothing; Matty sells generic "P" clips:
Another alternative is these BMW pipe clips which appear perfect in size:
What did / would you use?

I have been using steel P clips with rubber molding on all my rebuilds for the fuel line. I also add a clear piece of tubing around the tubing at each of the clips. I know, I?m totally over doing it......

I've used these on more than one occasion,
They work well but you sometimes have to slightly open the holes in the chassis for them to clip in.
They are available here, https://www.carbuildersolutions.com/uk/ ... pipe-clips
They also have lots of other options.

Since I will not use nylon fuel line (absolutely NO fire resistance), I replace the plastic with copper line. I then use the aircraft P clips that are made from metal w/ the rubber cushion on them. My S3-SS has over 30 years this way and my Coupe restoration will have the same very soon.
