O.E. style double wire radiator hose clip for Austin Healey BN1 to BJ8. This is the traditional wire clamp style chosen for a more original appearance on the main radiator hose connections.
Yes, this O.E. double wire type is used on main radiator hose connections across BN1 to BJ8 models.
No chassis breakpoint applies to the clip itself. Fitment depends on selecting the correct radiator hose for the car, then clamping at the hose ends listed below.
Excludes: This is not the 1/2 inch clip used on the smaller heater take-off hose found on bottom hose with heater pipe variants.
Note: Bottom hoses with heater take-off (BN4-BJ8) also require 1/2 inch clips for the smaller heater hose connection. Choose either Jubilee 1/2 inch or O.E. double wire 1/2 inch.
O.E. double wire is chosen primarily for appearance and a more period-style clamp profile.
For maximum adjustability, use the Jubilee type. For early-style pin and strip fitment on BN1-BN6, use the Pin & Strip type.
