Brake Booster Clamp Info.

[Steven43]

Dose any one know a youtube sight on how to install the clamp on the brake booster hose. I have the clamp-wrapping stuff, but after 30 years I have forgotten how to do it.

you insert the strapping material through the slot (below the cotter pin) about 3/4" and bend it over.. Then wrap the strap material around the hose and through the same hole.. Wrap it around one more time and then insert through the cotter pin halves. Cut the strap material about 1" away from the cotter pin. Turn the cotter pin COUNTER clockwise until the whole thing is tight. turning it counter clockwise locks the strap and prevents it from loosening.

clear as mud???

These clamps appear to be the same as Steven43's. I just received them from Restoration Supply Co.

Oh well. I tried. I have never seen one before getting into a Tiger 2-1/2 years ago.

Not just original style but one of several that I have that were in the inventory of a dealer in W Va. way back when I bought all the Rootes / Chrysler parts that they had left. All the Simca parts that I had to take are somewhere in the attic. The wife and I have been buying and stocking Sunbeam parts since the mid 80's. All of the cabinets on this side of the shop are full of parts. If it breaks on any of the Beams I can fix it.
