    Anybody know where I can get the clips that hold the vacuum line to the dip stick?

    My first thought was ToddsGS,

    I don't see it though.

    I'm not aware of any clips that hold the modulator line to the dip stick tube. Doesn't mean they don't exist. Anyone have a picture?

    Found this picture, not a Buick. The only clip I see attaches to a transmission to engine mounting bolt.

    W/o looking Larry, I believe they are. At least the round one, but I know some of my cars have both. They are typically missing on most cars. I know whatever should be on my car is there. The thing with Todd is that you can't have everything right away on the shelf. He is kind of just starting out, compared to Inline or AMES or Eckler. I have small NOS widgets here that he doesn't sell...yet. Plus, the demand is small for those because most people wouldn't know they were missing.

    That’s close and will work Todd, but not exactly correct. I don’t think the original Buick clips had the flare-out on the ends. I’ll see if I have a picture of one and post it if I can find it in my old computer.

    There you go Bill. The whole deal with the clip is it holds the line so it can't pull off the rubber line of the modulator ( or rattle). It's just one of those widgets that always goes missing, like trans mount shims, starter brackets, the extra e cable hooks on the lower control arms, etc. Two minutes with a Dremel and you could wittle a repro to really close.
