Default Clips color

Can someone please give me a definitive answer on the color of the brake and gas line clamps or clips on my 69 L-78 Camaro? The vendors all seem to have kits with different colors. I have looked in the assembly manual but that was not much help on the color. Thanks in advance for any help.

Not all of the fuel and brake line clips are blue. But some of the fuel line clips are.

I used testors blue also. I think there were 3 or 4 different colored clips on my car and seemed like it depended some on size and style

BBBenny has a nice procedure also. Contact the Professor for his way of doing the clips.

All the 3/8 Gas line clips, that I took off orginal cars. Are Blue. I have many sets to prove the orginal color. Redoing the color to orginal, is a touchey issue. But it can be done. Just my two cents! BBBenny
