69 camaro speed o cable clip with 4 speed

[ALLZS]

the clip on the floor tunnel area this is the clamp & screw removed looks to be original to the car it is a very early car has anyone seen this style before

Rich, heres my thoughts. That attaching bolt (which is brake/fuel line clip length) has sheet metal threads. That was not used on First Gen F Bodies. They all used 5/16-18 thread bolts.
And those cables were all held in by the butterfly clips (like the ones you sold not to long ago). My guess is it was added later. I'll be interested to hear others thoughts.

1970 L78 4-Speed Nova Speedo Cable Clip. This one is broken.
I bought a clip from Rich thinking it looked similar (was listed as a battery cable clip)


Expanded plug fits into floor pan kind of like a rivet. Once all the seam sealer was removed it is free to rotate.

I haven't seen any original cars without the butterfly clip type. as shown in the last two posts.

Rich,

Mine is a late car but still used two of the same familiar clips on the upper and lower pinch locations for the speedo cable. I cannot say I have ever seen a fuel line clamp used in either spot, especially the lower since the screw would thread into the passenger foot compartment and would likely snag the carpet or underlay material. It was likely changed at one point.

Do you think my Nova clip just over bent... open ?

Looks that way. Probably got hooked by a transmission when pulling one out perhaps. Bend it back carefully so it doesn't snap off, and be careful not to pull the 2 prongs out of the floor hole or it will be loose after. Might have to spread the inner tabs inside the passenger compartment if it does loosen up.

Yes

Just wanted to show another photo of an original clip.

The repop does not have the two tabs on the outside.

Squeezing those two tabs will spread the inner tabs.

On the repops you have to spread the inner tabs from inside the car.

Tried to re-install my original the other day but it snapped one leg off while trying to get the butterfly tabs to set. I then installed one of the repro tabs and was thankful I had some of those here. That makes two originals that I have lost while trying to reinstall them. And what a PITA they are. Once you bend the tabs once or twice and those tabs crack...they are done for.

Limited number of times they can be squeezed, that's for sure.
Obviously designed for single use only.
