1968 Toronado Front Drum Brake Hose Clips
Well I had a little trouble with my front right brake hose yesterday. It appears that a worn out hose clip failed and the steering linkage decided to show the hose who is boss. I definitely want to replace both front drum brake hose clips that connect to the control arms so history does not repeat itself. However, I spent like two hours last night trying to find these clips with absolutely no luck. Does anyone still make these clips or know where I can find some???

I absolutely love these stylish first generation Toronado's. It is really somewhat sad that these iconic time capsules with their aggressive wheel arches and breath taking curves are very under appreciated by allot of the classic car world today. However, for me even with all the hassle of finding replacement parts the enjoyment I get out of it makes it completely worth it.
I hope you have a wonderful New Years as well...

oh, that is ugly
you may wish to redo that cv joint boot as well. Couple tubes of silicone, eh?
I have used parts but for that application I would try
1) find out the PN via say the PN manuals at wildaboutcars.com
then search the interwebbage for that part, NOS, and pay what they want.
2) good used parts from the desert SW or NW
3) Fabricate as needed, preferably in stainless.

I've got a 1967 Toronado parts car. Sorry, the axles have already been spoken for, but it looks like it may have the same brake line clip. This is a disc brake car (those are available) so I don't know if it would be different. Once I get them off the car I'll take better photos, but here's a couple for you to compare to yours. John
