Hi Guys needing help with the correct radiator hose clamps for mid 69 Cooper S. When did the wire type clamps finish? Where might i be able to buy the correct clamps? Cheers |

Utilux No H510 and 1 1/4" diameter. They are very hard to find. The change over was 67/68 from the wire clamps.   Aftermarket ones are made for the Ford and Holden guys but they are either too big or small and have a thicker section of metal between the straps. https://www.rarespares.net.au/rarespare ... uct=CS1003 Edit- H510 in the catalogue above are different to the ones used on our cars. The correct clamps have raised edges to retain the nut instead of a single tab |

Yep the radiator hoses are, but the fuel line clamps have to be wrong, what should a mk2 have for fuel line to carbs? |

The wire fuel line clips work a treat actually. I've had them fitted for the last seven years without issue. They're kinder to the braided lines as well as they don't spread and split the rubber boots. |

Is there a special tool for putting these on spring clamp things on? I find them REALLY hard to work with just using pliers, They slip out and it just isnt fun. |

Fencing pliers??? They have a groove in each jaw to hold the wire clips.. Cheers, Ian |

I believe early 66 is the earliest car I have had with them on it that i believe were original. Was only a deluxe but they were there. So could have even been prior to this. |
