hls30.com Posted November 5, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2006 Howdy All,I am in need of some help. I had pulled the hard (fuel, vapor, brake) line mounts and insulators, from my '72 and stored them in a large ziplock bag. Evidently, in strippping several of the same parts from '71-'83 cars, I have put them all in the same bag, and now have no idea which ones are original to the car. Has anyone got a set tucked away for or from plating/refurbishing that they could lay out the insulators for(I can figure out the brackets from the insulaotrs and position) a picture? I checked the my printed copy of the fische, FAST, and the parts book(Oct, '69-Dec, '72), and none of the diagrams show the insulators/brackets(not even partnumbers) unless I missed something.Thanks!WIll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share #2 Posted November 5, 2006 Well, I have sorted out the 280ZX parts-they are wider.Still, if any one has a full set they can take a pic of, it would help.Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffMopar Posted November 6, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 6, 2006 Dont know if these pics will help but it cant hurt to put them up. I went out into the garage and dug out the bag with the hard line insulators in it for pictures. I also took pics of the original hard line clamps still on the old lines. These are off a 72. They arent in the greatest shape but I still have to try to find replacements. The hard line clamps are very close to 1/2" wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted November 6, 2006 That helps a bunch!The reason I needed to find out what actually belonged to my car was so I can make up some replacements. How close to stock are you looking for?I am going to be using Stainless and a soft urethane- the insulators should look bone stock, but the brackets and fasteners obviously won't be cadmium plated.I will re-sort the insulators tomorrow, and hopefully have molds for all of the insulators made by next monday. Then I will start on the forms for the brackets. Somewhere in between, I will find stainless fasteners. Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffMopar Posted November 6, 2006 Share #5 Posted November 6, 2006 I'm looking for functionality more than totally stock looks. Most of the metal brackets I can glass bead and powder coat orange to match the car, but the rubber is all dry rotted. If the Urethane works let me know. I would be interested in where you got it and how you made them. Thanx, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hls30.com Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share #6 Posted November 6, 2006 I am going to make some molds after I clean up and repair my dry rotted examples as well. If I can't get them in good enough shape to make molds from, I will have to carve new ones and make molds form the carvings.Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
