Fuel Retaining Clips

Was wondering if anyone could help me with finding fuel retaining clips?

 

I am installing new fuel lines and routing them down the chassis rails, underneath the car, and was trying to find some after market fuel retaining clips.

 

What I had in mind was some sort of rubber grommet with a provision for two fuel lines and a brake line.

 

I have had a good search on the internet and Summit, but don't seem to be able to find anything that fits that description!

 

What have other folks done to secure the fuel and brake lines when they have re-routed them out of the tranmission tunnel down the chassis rails?

Try McMaster-Carr and such. I doubt you will find something to hold both brake lines and the rubber lines, but you can mount them separately.

Yes, I am looking for the same thing, as i have moved my fuel and brake lines around a bit, and in addition, my old clips were shot. A quick junkyard search did not produce anything usable, 'tho i could probably look harder.

 

I was thinking of fabricating something, using aluminum and rubber. the aluminum clip part should be simple enough, and for the rubber part that surrounds the lines, i was thinking of just getting a block of hard rubber, drilling the appropriate size holes, and then cutting it in half length-ways. But I haven't got there yet. :) Let me know if you find something, or how you resolve the issue.

I was hoping I'd come across something like this since I will be need replacements for the stock hangers.

 

McMaster seems to be the answer. I'm probably going with some of these

*edit* you have to click on catalog page 1491 or 1492 to see the ones I'm talking about (haven't decided between the two)

You can get those (probably for less) at a Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.
