65 350hp w A/C Heater Hose mtg ?

[William Holder]

Hello All
The right side inner fender on my 65 350hp w A/C Coupe has been replaced by previous owner. I am trying to replace all the brackets on it. I am ordering a overflow can bracket and a heater hose bracket from paragon. The heater hose bracket is U shaped and held on with 2 bolts and nuts. The paragon catalog says I need two. I cannot figure this out as I looked in the AIM and only saw one. Can somone with original car please let me know how many I need? Any pictures would be helpful. Also info onany other brackets that I need to put on this inner fender would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Bill

You need 2 hose clamps

Ref '65 AIM, UPC C60 sheet D6, view A for the forward / upper clamp (says to locate per dimples in factory fender --- I don't know if non-air/cond cars have these dimples un-drilled, but they probably do). This clamp is located about even with the forward square flange on the compressor barrel.

Second clamp is lower and to the rear, even with the back head of the compressor. See it on AIM UPC C60 sheet D3, view A for locating dimensions.

Can take pictures if you want.

Be wary of what you read in the AIM. First note the parts list on various AIM pages does NOT call out quantities. Second, the drawings were intended for internal-only use and simply depict the 'gist' of things versus the literal absolutes involved in the mfgr process. When, it's important to make something CRYSTAL clear, you'll typically find a NOTE on the AIM page involved...
