Anyone know where I can procure these clips?

Starting to put things back together. Did an anal retentive job labeling and bagging everything, but some stuff still is either missing or didn't make it.

My stainless brake lines came with the one retainer clip but its about half the length it needs to be. Go figure. Looks like the front line retaining clips are also missing (from the kit).

Thanks fellas.

Do you want them to match oe design or just to work? You can get the retainers to match from resto but you can get them generically the same idea from summit Eastwood eBay etc

The ones Summit and friends all advertise looks like the one (new) one I have and its about half the length it needs to be. -Might- work on the fronts, but the back one is not even close.

An OE PN would be nice. :hat:

I could get them for you at the junk yard if you like, there's like 4 squares there right now.
4wd or 2wd?

4WD.

That'd be great!


Go to a junkyard and pull them

Around here they'd be missing also....from rot.

Pretty sure I have used the ones in the Help! or Dorman section at the parts stores.
That was my Plan B tomorrow. Every 'kit' they sell for the retainer clips all look like the one I have which is by far too short.

I'm familiar with the clip that's on the rear end. Goes through one of the diff bolts, and clips the line down, that one is easy, the other one I'm not so familiar with. I recognize the location, but what does that it look like? Want to make sure I get the right thing.

This is what came with the kit (but isn't long enough). Its stamped to only go one way. If it was totally flat, I could probably make it work. I suppose a vice and a few beers has the ability to make it that way.

Supposed to be 3 of them....only got 1. They're too short anyways.

Are we talking about these

Nope - need one side open to slide on.

Okay, thanks. I see now.
I'll be at the yard friday to pull a long bed, I'll get them off that truck before I go.
