Default Hard to find small part

Does anyone know if the small clamp that is used to hold to the 2 steel vacuume lines that run across the fire wall for wiper door operation is available from any of the parts suppliers?

Not the clamp behind the brake booster, but the one just to the left of the wiper limit switch? There is a screw that protrudes straight up from a horizontal surface on firewall and the clamp is enlongated to hold the 2 steel lines.


Thanks
David

Correct sir, 1 line sits in front of the other, so the clamp is enlongated to allow for the 2 to set side by side. One metal line is larger diameter than the other.

Hello David,
The clip that's used is very similar (or maybe the same) as the clip used for the fuel lines on cars with fuel return lines, and also on the drivers side where the long brake line and vapor line run parallel to each other. The original clip is shaped to hold 2 lines, one bigger than the other.
If you need one I'll send you one.
Regards,
Alan
