OK...I know it's a long shot but I need one. It's not for my car; it's for a buddy. I was checking it over last night because it was difficult to start. While reaching down to loosen off the cable pinch nut, my sleeve touched the clip and sproing! It fell somewhere but didn't hit the ground. I suspect it fell behind the starter motor. Anyhow, it's no longer and the 3 SU carbs I have in the garage are void of this particular clip.

Just to clarify, this is the clip that attaches to the bracket on the back of the carb and holds the choke cable sheath from moving up and down. The B20 SU uses a different clip...checked that already.

I bet a couple of minutes with that pile of 16 ga you have and you'd have one built. I've got a couple of spare pairs of HIF6's and a set of HIF7's, what model was used on the B21A?

The B21A uses an HIF6 carb. I'd try making something but it's a pretty strong spring clip. I'm not sure I can get something to hold tight enough. I might be able to rig up something though...

I looked at both my HIF6's and HIF7's and I don't have a clip on either, sorry.

I have one If U still need it. I found it at pnp and it was on a '79 245. The carb and all the cables are still there.
