Fastening lines

[GPster]

Give me some ideas where to find the single screw (or pop rivet) line clamps for 3/16" and 5/16" lines. My friendly Ace Hardware has the nylon ones that do 1/4" and 3/8" but they would be sloppy around my brake lines and my fuel line. I know I tend to be "Ol' Skool" but I did have one year of college and I'd rather not have the lines rattle and crack. I tried our local parts houses and trying to be helpful they suggested I try Ace Hardware but I'd already been there. I'd even use the type that are metal with a rubber sleeve on them. Even though there's still air in the brake lines I'd like them to stay where I've put them. GPster

I have gotten them at the big box stores, Lowes, Home Depot....pricey, but they had them. Or see if there's a nearby swapmeet this weekend, seems thre's alway a guy selling that type of hardware at swaps...

Go to McMaster.com, look on page 1373 or in the search window, type in    "Nylon and Tefzel Loop Straps"

what you are looking for are called ADEL clamps. If you live by a good auto supplier they have them in their catalog. Originally used on aircraft  you might try someone  at an airport ( private )such as Cesna etc..

Earls.
Total Performance.
Spruce Specialties.  (Home-built aircraft supply house.)

Speed shops many times stock a generic Adel clamp.

Well, I'm just about to become a stocking dealer. Me and my accountant just ordered 100 count boxes of the four sizes I might need. GPster
