Currently re-assembling 57 frame. When disassembling I managed to break the "bayonet" on two of the brake/fuel combination clips as well as the forwardmost top of frame single fuel line only clip. The "bayonets" on currently available repop combination clips differ significantly from what I removed and lack the holding power of the originals. I have not found a front fuel line only clip avail on the repop market. Is the original clip config common to pass or something else? Also, what should finish appearance be on as delivered cars?

Re: C1/57 brake - fuel line clips to frame
Thanks Mike -- Will hit a boneyard Saturday. Still need to know what finish would be correct. I suspect that maybe a "dulled up" green phosphate finish with maybe some blackout overspray might be appropriate but want to get these things right so as not to have to remove again to refinish. Any help along these lines will be appreciated. ---Joel Miller #620Comment
