Brake line clip color

[k92]

Can someone post a picture of the clips that are used to secure the front to rear brake lines on a 1970 Chevelle? I have the original ones off of my ls6 and can tell they are each a different color,green,blue and yellow ,but very faded and I was wondering if someone could post a picture of some in better condition or ones that have been properly restored? I would also like to see the correct color for the fuel line clips too?

Here is a link to some underside photos of my 72 T/A. It's not Chevelle but the underside was untouched and you can see the blue, green and yellow clips. I believe the color relates to the size of the fule/brake line it holds. Check this link: http://forums.performanceyears.com/f...ge=4&pp=20

Beautiful work Steve!

Rob, with regards to the yellow clips like seen on Steve's car, I have only seen semi transparent Blue (3 different shades) flat olive drab and a yellow cadmium clip (NOT yellow paint) on the '70 Chevelle. I have however seen the yellow paint on later years. As per my e-mail, I will get you the sizes and colors. For the most part, the color is relative to the size of the clip but that has not been true 100% of the time.

Ok Rob, here is what I have. These do not seem to be 100% correct all the time. Of all the clips that I have, there were 3 different shades of blue, two of green and the colors did not always match the size. I think suppliers may have had a lot to do with the inconsistancies. All my clips are from 1970 Chevelles and these are the most common colors I came up with per size.

3/16" olive drab (brake lines)
3/16" blue (fuel lines)
1/4" Yellow cadmium
3/8" blue used on either
These are the solid end type clamps.
The double strapped end clamps that I have are both blue and green. Then there are the double line clamps. I have some of these in all three colors.

The rear steel clamps for the fuel and brake lines have for the most part been grey phosphate though I have also seen some that are black. These are the two clamps mounted to the rear of ear side of the frame before the rear crossmember. Hopefully this helps and does not confuse you more.
