    Mystery hose clip

    Dear 59 lovers,

    I found a mysterious hose clip on my inner left fender. It looks like it has been there from the birth of the car since it blackened as the rest of the hood. It looks like it can hold a hose of appr. 1.25" diameter. Is someone able to tell me what its purpose is ?

    Please note in the picture that my voltage regulator is mounted in the wrong side of the engine compartment (still to be done) since my engine is not original (305 V8 Camero 1983) therefore my generator is mounted on the left side instead of the right side (still to be corrected). The mystery hose clip is shown in the right/middle of the picture.

    greetings,
    Rob Musquetier
    The Netherlands.

    Rob: remove the clip(which is also a mystery to me) to see if there is factory black underneath Mr. Mystery. if there is, and i suspect there will be, it didn't leave St. Louis but rather an add on by a previous owner. mike

      The clamp looks just like the one used under the dash area for the signal flasher "holder" on my 55 and 57.You would push it in to the clamp.

        Mike,

        Just unscrewed the clip and there is blackness underneath and was mounted with a non-original looking umbrella nut (I don't believe these existed in 1959). Since it has no use I'll leave it out...

        thanks for your help,
        Rob.
