Default Vacuum quick connect clips

Can anyone help me locate the quick connect CLIPS? They are white and look like horseshoes. They are in almost every vacuum line in my 2001 Vette. GM and Summit both say no dice.

If you can't find new, try one of the used parts vendors on the forum. They might have some in good shape.

Also you can go to a hardware store and look in the specialty
fastener section. They will be metal not plastic

Call Marc at Vettenuts.net and describe specifically what you need.
615-896-6100

Otherwise try your salvage yards. I sure there are other GM products that use this same design retainer clip.

I just talked to Marc on another matter a few minutes ago and I mentioned these. He has plenty on hand. Call him.
