Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #330 – October 04, 2021, 10:05:48 AM The problem @sly_gti is, I think this is off a very well specified late car. It could be anything that my car doesn't have that has two pipes or cables, PAS, central locking, electric windows etc. It could even be a MK3 part.

PAS pipe clip?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #332 – October 04, 2021, 10:17:33 AM Pretty sure it's the clip for the brake lines, mines a late 1991 car which may always make a difference.There's an identical scallop to the metal lip on both the left and right chassis arms, nearer the bulkhead end, to accomodate it.As there's only one clip I'm guessing it possibly allows it to be changed over for left or right hand drive?Has no real effect on my pipes, they're naturally held quite rigidly already, maybe it's to reduce the risk of it fouling on something?It seems to be that elongated, oblong shape as the pipes route is angled at that point.14 on the diagram - 191 611 797 CGoogled that and the only one I could find was indeed white. Couldn't get a clear shot of the drivers side, this is the nearside scallop.Clip in place.

I don't have PAS so I'll wait for somebody who has PAS to claim this one.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #337 – October 08, 2021, 08:39:15 PM I couldn't find a replacement easily, and on my car at least it's actually a genuinely useful clip.My metal PAS pipes seem to have a will all of their own and it's needed to keep them from rubbing on the brake pipe bracket just at the bottom of the bulkhead.The metal pipes are 10mm and these fit the bill exactly if you're missing one too.eBayTheres a hole in the metalwork of the PAS rack, at the point just below where the gear selector gubbins attaches,that the original clip pushed into.These wee clips can be firmly secured with a nut / bolt through it as pictured.If you remove the ear on the clip to leave a bare clip they can be used at intervals along the pipes.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #338 – October 08, 2021, 08:49:18 PM The chassic leg brake pipe clip from a few posts back.I was speculating as to why I'd only one and whether or not it was a LHD / RHD thing?Working through the PAS today and now it makes sense - this is the bracket on the passenger side chassis rail, complete with it's own regular style brake pipe clip on the rear.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #339 – October 10, 2021, 06:32:54 AM An unusual bolt, size M12 x 62 x 48 in black finish. Only one on the car, now discontinued without replacement, where is it used?
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #340 – October 10, 2021, 06:57:53 PM The only reason I might know this one is because mine has been lined up in front of me on the desk with the others for months and by now I'd probably know it in the dark.Having said that mine doesn't have the hex socket recess of yours, though I've no way of knowing if it's original.No. 29
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #341 – October 10, 2021, 07:26:16 PM Yes that’s the one. Only one on the car. I think the hex recess was not on factory cars and was a later addition. Thought it may disguise things for a while. Well done.
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #342 – October 10, 2021, 08:56:39 PM I was thinking gearbox bolt but the hex socket but put me off
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #343 – October 10, 2021, 09:30:27 PM Quote from: sly_gti on October 10, 2021, 08:56:39 PMI was thinking gearbox bolt but the hex socket but put me offThat’s the reason I didn’t mention the hex socket, I'm not sure it was there from the factory. The giveaway was the colour and length of thread, the only black one in that size that I know of. There it is in fitted, I'm convinced the Allen hex is a revision on the original design but it sure makes the bolt easier to fit: Last Edit: October 20, 2021, 02:45:05 PM by PWardy
Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #344 – October 12, 2021, 04:43:10 AM This is off topic but I have just caught sight of this workshop. I have massive workshop envy. Would I be the only one working by torch light, in a small cave, with tools I can carry in a shopping bag? Last Edit: October 12, 2021, 07:59:41 AM by Monkey
