Title: A New Years challenge Post by: mcl1959 on January 18, 2014, 11:43:12 AM A challenge to tax the minds of those who know FE and FC well..
What are these clips from? (http://s24.postimg.org/6cd9sqdyp/image.jpg) ($2) Only clue I will give is that they are a stand alone part with their own part number, so they are not taken from a larger assembly. I will give the answer (unless someone gets it) when I get back home from holidays. Ken Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: Neil FE Van on January 18, 2014, 11:57:21 AM Door handle clips.

Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: Professor Grey on January 18, 2014, 12:29:15 PM Is it spring (circlip) for clutch /brake pedal shaft?
Prof. Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: ACE on January 18, 2014, 12:29:54 PM Clip for the Clutch and Brake pedal shaft.
ACE 8) Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mcl1959 on January 18, 2014, 01:54:38 PM No - thats why I put the 10 cent coin in - that clip is approximately twice the size of the one shown.
Good guess though! Ken Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: FC427 on January 18, 2014, 02:17:28 PM Have I seen these on the handbrake ??? ??? ??? ??? ???.......FC427........
Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mcl1959 on January 18, 2014, 04:12:34 PM No you haven't. I will tell you that these clips are very rarely seen and even on the most stock of stockies - they wont be there.
They will be missing...... :o Ken ;) Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: FC427 on January 18, 2014, 05:48:35 PM Hydraulic clutch line retaining clips ??? ??? ??? ???........FC427.........

Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: hsv-001 on January 18, 2014, 08:42:21 PM Look like rocker shaft end clips.Haydn
Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: fe215 on January 18, 2014, 09:42:21 PM wiper link to wiper motor retaining clips
Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: fcwrangler on January 18, 2014, 11:19:14 PM Rocker shaft clips are larger and there are four of them about the size of a 50cent coin.
Jim Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mcl1959 on January 19, 2014, 10:05:28 AM No to clutch line clips
No to wiper arm clips No to rocker shaft clips No to wiper link to wiper motor clips All good guesses, maybe I should get pictures of all the guesses so far and compare them to the challenge. I will when I get back. :) Ken Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: 57effie on January 19, 2014, 12:10:13 PM They look like the retainers at the ends of the rocker gear . Although they look smaller beside the coin.
Mark Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: 57effie on January 19, 2014, 12:12:33 PM Oops!!
Gotta start reading the whole post Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mcl1959 on January 19, 2014, 01:59:43 PM They do look very like rocker retainers, but about half the size.
This is a tough challenge :P Ken :D Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: graham_fuller on January 19, 2014, 03:02:17 PM I think it's the clip that holds the accelerator pump plunger in the carbi.
Cheers, Graham Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: surferboy on January 19, 2014, 03:42:16 PM Using my vast, extensive, intimate knowledge of all things mechanical when it comes to FE & FC Holdens....... ::)
I conclude that this is a trick question and these are off a f##d ??? :-\ ;D and Ken is just playing with us :D surferboy 8) 8) 8) Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mark_fc on January 19, 2014, 06:11:46 PM Brake drum retaining clips 8) where do i collect my prize? ;D
Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mcl1959 on January 19, 2014, 06:18:34 PM No to plunger pump retainer clip. Surferboy, would I mess with you? :-*
It's definitely an FE FC part - all will be revealed in due course. I'm guessing that Graham Pryce's FC, Julius's FE and even Graham Fuller's FE are missing these. (though I've never checked) I know none of the stockies I built had these clips - I only found these a few years ago on a very low mileage car that I wrecked (it was totally rusted out) and this led me to discovering their existence. It's not an easy challenge. Ken Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mcl1959 on January 19, 2014, 06:20:32 PM WINNER ;D ;D ;D
Well done Mark - how did you work it out? Ken Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mark_fc on January 19, 2014, 06:28:23 PM It was too easy, got a harder challenge haha, a few years ago i bought an FE for parts, i remember removing them to try and free the locked on brakes! :)
Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: customFC on January 19, 2014, 06:54:53 PM A picture installed would be interesting.
Regards Alex Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: DJ on January 19, 2014, 10:07:55 PM Second prize Ken?
I reckon they had a lot left over & used them later.

Jim Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: FCV08 on January 19, 2014, 11:33:55 PM Great challenge Ken :D ;D ;D
Keep them coming Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mcl1959 on January 22, 2014, 11:50:48 AM So the wash up to the challenge - part number is 7409454 in section 5.810 - Brake drum spring clip
The book lists 12 being fitted originally (3 per wheel) I assume that since they served no practical purpose once the car was running (they held the brake drum in place during the car's assembly when there were no wheels on it), then they were discarded the first time the brakes were serviced. I have only seen a very few of these - anybody actually have some of these on their car? Ken Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: Professor Grey on January 22, 2014, 02:04:42 PM Hey Ken,
NOT FAIR :D My parts book doesn't have part number 7409454 in the index. Nor does it have section 5.810, jumping straight from 5.809 to 5.812. NOT FAIR boohoohoo. I'm gunna tell MUM. :'( Cheers & bring 'em on. Prof. Title: Re: A New Years challenge Post by: mcl1959 on February 01, 2014, 09:33:59 PM Some photos (not very good) of the clips installed
