Vent Line Clps

Does anyone have a source for vent line clips that look similar to the original?

You might try Restoration Specialties... they carry lots of oddball stuff

Hal,

The photo in thier catalog looked right, but when I got them in the mail the ends where the tube runs are turned up and it looks obviously wrong.

I know some of you think I am crazy, but it is a little hobby of mine to try and find original stuff or reproduction stuff that looks and functions just like OEM.

Hey, I admit that I am crazy, that is the first step right?

The AN742-X series clamps look just like it. The dash number represents 1/16" so a -2 is for 1/8" tube and a -5 is for 5/16" tube and so on. Aviation hardware sources carry them.

Ryan and all,
I was looking at the picture and I'm sure that Wes has a better suggestion. However, the metal looks like copper. I think I saw copper brackets and things like what you're looking for at Home Depot (or something similar) in the electrical department. Might be worth a look.

Hey,

That color is rust and in the picture it does look like copper. I guess it is a photo artifact.

I will have to look again at Lowe's and Home Depot
