I am the second owner of this 1966 “S” (July build).
I am in the process of re-assembling the engine compartment.
The engine is in and the various clutch & brake cylinders as out getting rebuilt.

The AKD manuals and on-line references do not seem to cover my “S” ... at least based upon the clips originally on the car.
Are there any definitive sources for the proper clips for a 1966 “S”?

Here are a few pictures of what I have installed so far which I believe are original to the car.

Radiator hoses - top & bottom - double wire


Fuel lines


Fresh air hose - reducer at bulkhead - double wire


Fresh air hose - reducer at grill - double wire


Fresh air hose and radiator hoses - heater under dash - double wire and single wire


Do both ends of radiator hoses get the single wire?
What about other hoses such as brake servo?

I just pulled apart a ‘67 non s and those all look correct based on what I was dealing with…the fuel hoses or lines seem to be newer but the clamps look correct

Someone else will definitely have more expertise than me

Here is the clip on the hose attached on the heater.


Here is another clip behind the heater ear. It is around the heater hose and the demister vent hose.

I always thought the radiator hose clips had round head slotted heads, I purchased some from catmint a while ago, clips come with slotted hex heads and round head slotted are supplied to replace them

The ones by the heater under the dash are called buckle clips.

These are very close indeed:
