Yeap, 2 clips. There are pressings in the 2 piece cowl where the clips went.
The original hose was black rubber.

All the radiator cowlings I have seen, had the 2 clips sitting in the 2 pressings, as pr Spider said.

Does look about right. If I get a chance today, I'll take a pic of the cowl.

Hello guys
I received the green hose and the clip
Unfortunately I can't fit the lower clip, without removing the radiator...
and as for me the green hose is too flexible!
does anyone knows where to find a genuine mk1 overflow hose
The fuel hose sold at minispares can't fit in the clip
I saw different mk1, my mk1 is a baby 1967,
I don't know if the good choice is the green or the black hose?
