Hi gentlemen Well, it's all about details but I know some of you will understand! As mine are pretty old and some lacking I wanted to purchase the small plastic parts that "link up" (not sure it's the correct verb) maintain together the fuel lines of the injection system under the hood. These parts are called morsetto/support clamps in the spare parts catalogue, #113896. Concerns are: Only one ref available but these clamps are made for 3 pipes as in my memory only to pipes need to be linked... When I will change them I would like to put them where they were placed by the factory but I could not find any old photo. Neither brochure nor manual or parts catalogue shows them. So, are the clamps all supposed to be 3 lines ones or were 2 lines sometimes used by Ferrari? Has anybody an exact idea where the clamps are supposed to be placed? Well, I will live without answers, mostly for fun! Envoyé de mon iPad
Give Daniel a call at Ricambi America, he's supplied them to me a while back: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati Parts - Ricambi America, Inc. He only has the 3 injection line clips. Where you need to clip 2 lines together (on top of valve covers), simply cut one of the ends of the clip to covert it to a 3 injection line clip.
& Daniel could only source the 3 line clip, so he suggested to cut one of the ends off to convert it. Refer to my post (#9) where I have a pic of the clips over the valve cover. The pic was taken before I installed them on the lines at the fuel distributors. I also have my lines stacked vertically over the valve covers instead of the factory horizontal layout. http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/365-gt4-2-2-400-412/369328-valve-clearance-adjustment.html
Thanks gentlemen At least one question solved: only 3 line clips avalaible. What confirms what I had guessed on Eurospares site, 2 or 4 line have been superseded... Any old picture of an original bay?
Finally found some. Here: https://www.ferrariparts.co.uk/PagesExternal/Search.aspx Also available for 4 pipes. MP, as they say, probably not OEM but at least Maranello Approved Parts! Remains to place them correctly Image Unavailable, Please Login
I needed some clips for my cars & came across this thread. As I need enough for 3 cars it was going to cost me about $200AUD plus freight & these look to be 3D printed anyway so I decided to print my own. If anyone else wants the STL files to print some for themselves just PM me your email address & I will email the files. Cheers, Al Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Those are crappy looking repop clips. They look fluffy. I buy OEM ones from Mercedes, not fluffy and no Ferrari tax. Tell them its for a 500 sel.
HT lead clamp could also be used, the no frills ones do look good and are available for 2 to 6 leads. The CNC variants are stronger but do not look period correct. https://www.gsparkplug.com/2x-7mm-8mm-ht-ignition-lead-clamp-set-holder-seperators-spacers-2-clip-holder.html
Mocal T clamps are available for this size, they appear from time to time on ebay. Currently these are only listed for 2 lines and wrong color, but you get the idea: Image Unavailable, Please Login 3D printed parts are full of air due to the printing process, so they are prone to collect dirt and residue, not the best solution for an engine bay.
