Aluminum Clamps on Ferrari

Post by enio45 »

As i work thru my Ellena Restoration, there are numerous aluminum clamps that secure the
brake lines, electrical conduit wires, emergency brake cables etc.

I'd like to replace all of these with a fresh look - anyone know anybody that makes these in the
alum for sale?

There are various sizes due to the diameter of the item it is securing, however they all have the same mounting hole size and similar style.

Thoughts of finding new ones or.....do i need to go make some??

If i had some made - do you think there is a market for selling them? I'd consider making 500
of each size and then make them avail for others.

Appreciate some advise - thoughts etc

Hi Ed,

I usually make these out of sheet aluminum. I have found the brake line clamps have rounded ends, while fuel and electrical clamps have beveled corners at 45 degree angles.

Tom, good point on the ends, i did not take that into consideration, but now looking over the ones i took off the Ellena - that is generally correct.

The ones for the brake lines i have already drawn up to have 500 made.

The ones for the electrical will need to be redone to have the angle ends.


any other thoughts out here about demand?
