Colin Lindsay Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 I nipped out to the garage to find a brake pipe clip for another post and ended up spending almost an hour sorting old trim, loom and brake pipe clips, all mixed together in one container. All of these are from Heralds and whilst I know many of them, some I do not recognise at all (second row, second from left as an example) and would welcome a jog to the fading memory.

JohnD Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Clip. Another clip. Another clip. X8 some sort of washer. Clip x6 I claim the Prize! They probably all have part nos. not names! John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NonMember Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Top left is from the steering column - I thought indicator cancelling at first but probably the one that grips the column in the top clamp. To the right of that is two clips tangled together, one of which is a door trim clip. Left most of the middle row is the other style of door trim clip. So those are the easy ones. Who's next?

John Of course they all have names, like that 'fiddly wee ******' and that 'annoying little **** that won't go back in place'. Like Rob I too thought that second from left, top row was two stuck together but it's so well done I think they may be a composite type of clip / bracket. Later this evening I'll remove the obvious ones and post better pics of the ones I just can't place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Vague memory of the round one being something to do with an estate boot floor, bit what it does I can't think C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Bottom row LH end is used to hold cable to metering unit on a PI car, must have another use I assume Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they started building the pyramids they needed someone the plan the delivery of the materials and I had just qualified, so I was still young when I got the job.

Colin Lindsay Posted May 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2019 I've now identified most of those, bar three. The top left is steering column, and most of the others are either brake pipes to metal bodywork or wiring loom to bodywork, or else just pipe to paralell pipe ie brake alongside fuel, and a couple of early trim clips. First left on bottom row is still a mystery, but Pete says it's a choke cable outer clip and Colin says it's from a PI car, which I've never owned, so although it may have multiple uses I'll go with Pete and store it in the drawer with the fuel components. The other two are in the photo below; I suspect the z-shaped one is for chrome trim on estate c-posts, but the other one (or three here) has me stumped. it might be something to do with early Herald seat covers, though I'll have to confirm that.
