[Vwdiesel] air cleaner box clips

[Chuck Carnohan]

I was rounding up fuel injection parts (gas) for Justin the other day
and noticed that the airbox clips on a gasser look exactly like the
diesel clips.  You might want to check it out.  Let us know if they are
the same- much easier to find in yards than the diesels!

well that would only surface (case) harden them, but very ingenious.
Gotta
start with a higher carbon content steel in the first place...  you
can't
get carbon to migrate into the steel much more than ten thou.  For wire,
go
to your local hobby store, you can buy spring steel in small diameters
commonly called "piano wire" meant for landing gear and tail skids on
radio
control planes. Bend to shape with two pliers.  If you need to heat to
bend,
get the whole thing red and quench in oil after the heating/bending is
finished. Good stuff.  Don't forget to allow plenty of arch in the clip
to
allow for adjustment.

Why not make some clips out of coat hangar wire... too soft?
save some chicken bones smash them up with a hammer  pack
the crumbs around the clips in an empty baked bean tin and
throw into the boiler furnace for a few hours. Remove and
anneal/harden
