Made some aluminum hard line clamps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ronh72c10 · 05-03-2005, 10:13 PM

Tried my hand at a decidedly low tech approach to creating some billet aluminum tranny hard line clamps. Maybe they're not show quality, but not bad for something I made with a belt sander and drill. (and a little polish)

Thanks, I won't make any more, but if there's any interest I'll post a little faq on how I made them. They're pretty labor intensive to make though, around 1.5 hours for each two piece set.
