I need some help identifying the correct clip for the transition from hard to soft brake lines at the strut. I have what I believe are early "T" 911 struts. The hard point on the strut where the lines attach are different than my 914 struts. The clips I bought appear to be too large and I don't want to blow it again. Can someone confirm my suspicions and perhaps point out the correct part number I need. The clips I have are 914-355-653-00, Pelican says I should be using 911-355-653-05 but need to confirm they're not the same part before I buy.
Also, should I be replacing the hardlines while I'm here or do they look "servicable"? Thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Kev |

The PET for 70-73 911 give me this PN: 803 611 715 which works in the Pelican search.
But I like GPR. |

And your brake hose may be wrong too.

It's the damn $2 part that always brings my progress to a screeching halt! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

Kevin, there are two ways around this.
1. Use the 911 U-shaped hat style clip or, 2. Install your current clip horizontially vs. vertical (as you're showing). You would have to grind about 1/4" off the ends of the tabs. |
