Can anyone tell me the part no for this clip or where it is located in the BL parts book as I can't find it ?
thanks
Dan

I only have a early parts book and 1977 cars had the twin pipe style air cleaner, the Rimmer's catalogue parts drawings seem to be a direct reproduction from the parts book they show UKC4636 as a "retaining strap" that is NLA on the web site.
I think the drawing is wrong and this is the part in question as I have never seen them with any sort of clamp on the hose to air cleaner my 81DHC has the "P" clip holding the pipe at the thermostat cover but nothing at either end and no sign of there ever having been any.
You should be able to find something similar from a auto factors or even make your own.

Thanks for the reply
I think, but I'm not sure, that UKC4636 is the zip tie in this factory brochure pic and would only be used on cars with a RH coolant tank to secure the coolant tank rubber hose, but feel free to tell me I'm wrong as I'm just surmising ? (my car has LH coolant tank)
It's the large gold coloured metal clip that bolts to the top of the thermostat cover that I can't find listed
cheers

I've not seen the P clip listed either. It might well be something you would have to get from a scrapped car or look fo something you find in a hardware store (repurposed) or find something similar from an auto wreckers or looking through parts catalogues like rockauto.com.

But I don't think that you will find anyone supplying them new. It should be easy enough to bend one up out of flat stock.
