PeterAllen Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Do they slip inside the plate or go over the top? I'm not having much success either way. Anyone have a photo of an install. Thanks Quote
Retro Z Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Ive always seen them mounted over the top. But now looking at it,i cant see why i cannot mount inside aswell.. Quote
Linton Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 they go on top, the bend you see in the clip holds tension on the hose to keep it secure within the clip. The hose goes up through the the hole the nut on the hose is located into the bottom to stop it rotating, the clip goes exactly how you have it in the pic similar to this Quote
PeterAllen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 That's what I thought, but it doesn't seem to work. I threw away the OEM Datsum hoses years ago and I'm inclined to think the Wilwood (Arizona Z kit) hose have the groove at a different spacing... Quote
cracker Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 On the opposite side of the clip (to your most recent shot above) - make sure that the fitting has slipped into the star shaped grooves properly, so that there is ample room where you are struggling to fit the clip. Hopefully that makes sense! (can take a photo later if it doesn't) Quote
PeterAllen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 ... Hopefully that makes sense!... It does, and I was careful to ensure it was located correctly. Thanks. Success... I just needed to eat more spinach. The car's underside was painted with 2 pak and later with anti-stonechip. Although I was careful to mask-off areas from the anti-stonechip where items were attached to the underside, e.g. suspension, brake lines, etc., the 2 pak must be much thicker than the OEM paint.
