There was someone making a cover/clip kit for the coupler but I have searched in vain for it. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Ekim. You ever going to go back in production on them?

Sorry for resurrecting a old thread, but I'm needing a set of clips, too and I just checked with mainelymopars - they sold out long ago. Is there another source for these clips?

Well, rather than try wrestling on yet another replacment seal (I've managed to tear 2 of those suckers already ) and then hope it stays on, I'm going to try out the 'pull on' cover that Steer & Gear has over on their website. I figure it'd be cheaper than having to buy 2 more of the 'regular' seals (a extra in case I manage to tear another one )...

Yep, I've been sold out of those clips for quite some time now. I found one manufacturer that was interested in reproducing the clamps but once they examined the liability factor they backed out. At this point if you were lucky enough to buy one when they were available hold on to it because I don't believe they will ever be reproduced again. I did keep a couple of each size for myself and they are not for sale at any price. They will be used as templates if I can ever find a manufacturer that is willing to reproduce them without me having to buy 5000 of each size. I still have the scribbled on a piece of paper rough blueprint that came with the clamps when I bought out all the remaining stock of clamps. Anybody know of a manufacturer in the U.S. that has wire bending equipment? Supposedly the original business that made them is no longer in business. I did hear rumor that another member here was going to tey and get them made. I haven't heard back from that member since giving him the information on which size clamp fit which application. I was assured that I would be informed but you know how that goes...
