C3 Fuel Line Clamps

[Duane D.]

I am looking for the green square-tip fuel line clamps and the tower clamps for the fuel return line for a 1970 Corvette. Can someone give me a lead on where to purchase these items that will pass NCRS judging?

A pair of the olive green 5/8", square tip clamps just went for 50 some odd dollars on Ebay.

Old Indian trick Take the repro green clamps, file the rounded tips down, go to a model store and match the paint to cover the ground ends.

Old Indians have poor eyesight. Nothing hides the shorter "ears."

Hi Duane,
I've looked for years for the small tower clamps without finding any.
I was able to save 2 of mine but 'lost' 2.
I ended up finding 2 clamps that were one size larger and modified them to the smaller size. I believe they came from Paragon at the time.
I installed the 2 originals at the fuel pump, (where they can be seen), and the other 2 back at the tank, (pretty difficult to see past the muffler).
Regards,
Alan

I retrieved these pictures from an earlier post.

Nudder Old Indian trick, most clamps are in very tight places, turn ears away from sharp eyed "pale faces". They have to feel for the edges, not see them

Re: C3 Fuel Line Clamps

I have seen these clamps (the tower clamps) used on 63-67 M-35 cooler lines and power steering return hose to pump housing. Not sure of the Numbers on the clamps in relation to application.
