Hydrogas Pipe Clips

Truly amazing!!
I wish I could do that 

If you have made any spares please can i buy a couple of them

Chris are you laying in a stock for the next f that you hope might come along?
I’ve a set of spheres, clamps & a spare pump, plus lots of other stuff you might consider for your just in case option. Four pot brakes & 17” wheels: I could go one.

I am working on a slightly improved version, with a different design where it grips the stud, which i will test tonight.

 

So the new improved version seems to bebetter, i changed the profile inside to mimic the bottom clips. The problem I am having is the lower one has started to corrode away, so it will need to be stuck on with some tiger seal. The top one it seems to fit fine.

If you message me your address, i will send you across a couple

I noticed a couple of the vacuum hose clips on the 135 could do with replacing when i did the cam belt change.  Its adequately supported but I'd made a note to keep an eye out for a couple of clips if any came up so I'd have some for whenever I may next need to remove the engine cover. 
Im undecided yet whether I'll look out for another F or TF to restore but if another happens to present itself like the last Mk1 F then I must admit I couldnt say no.

Ive hardly driven the 135 for the last year, it's booked for MOT later this week and I should try and do a few miles in it , not to mention use some injector cleaner etc to increase my chances on the emissions. Horror of horrors though its still wearing its hardtop as theres no where else to put it with my workshop full of MGB and the small garage full of it's bits and a couple of body panels from the MX5 donor car which  are taking a surprising while to sell.

Most of my free time has been going on the MGB engine swap for the last few months, progressing at a bit more speed now but I'll still need to paint it once it's mechanically complete.  I need to make some time to trace an elusive battery drain fault on my younger daughter's old Nissan Micra before she passes her test (the car I lent Alec for a while). In a moment of perhaps questionable sanity Ive just bought a  Jaguar XKR 4.0 coupe which is currently in a mate's barn 20 miles away with a stuck thermostat.

Any chance you could share the 3D file?  I've found others have shared their MGF/TF specific parts on Thingverse.  I've used Thingverse to share a rudder block that I designed for my kayak on this site.

In terms of designing parts that are hard to find or NLA, CAD software such as Tinkercad are extremely easy to use and TinkerCAD happens to be free; its what I used to design the rudder block .  You just need to make exact meassurements.

Some parts that I spend weeks designing, printing, testing and refining,such as the speaker boxes, will remain as my IP. These particular clips have been uploaded to Makerworld
