68 ac strap
« on: September 08, 2013, 07:52:09 PM »
On a 68 (if it matters, NJ) what are people seeing that hold the two AC hoses after the drivers shock tower but before the compressor?

It is a rubber covered metal strap. They are missing and are hard to replace. I have one original and have reproduced a few others. I'll see if I can post a picture.

The one on the left is an original and the one on the right is one of my reproductions. I believe that the same strap was also used on 69's

No, I sell them for $20.00 but give them to my friends.
