Default Late 69 Z/28 Fuel and Brake line clips

Resto houses sell kits. Not sure anyone has this correct. Rick Nelson says the Chevelle's are all over the place on coloring.

Inline tube sells this kit which is an "exact duplicate to the factory original clips": http://www.ebay.com/itm/69-1969-Camaro-Z...9db&vxp=mtr

HB Jimmy sells this kit which is "assembly line correct":
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Camaro-Brak...d20&vxp=mtr

Neither of the above kits match up with what is on my car. I have all original brake lines.

Hard to find much paint on my originals. Have attached four pics. Two are a 3/8 (with locator pin) that I swear has remnants of pink paint on it. It isn't phosphate. It is paint. I haven't seen any info on pink clips. Other two are a 5/16 (with locator pin) with a dark aqua/green paint. Have 3/16 with locator pins that had remnants of black paint.
So.. for those three styles, I am mixing up some testor's paint (except fot he black) to match as best I can.


In addition, I have some 3/8 clips without the locator pins; I cannot find any color on them. Anyone know what color those clips are?

If I am way off on the others, someone let me know.

The only thing I can say is that the HBC ones have the correct bolts which the in line tube ones don't.

I think the brake line kits are more of a blueish green Lynn. I used Testors paint (model paint) and got real close. BBBenny Pfeiffer has a real close match also. Maybe contact him. Don't really think anything close would be wrong. Who could/would determine that?

I agree Sam. The wife says the 3/8 clips are tan, not pink. Getting out the testors kit.
