Need a detail shot of tii fuel filter mount in a 1972/3

[SteveJ]

In the process of recreating a 1972 tii nose from an early non-tii nose. Started the de-snorkel and I'll need to fill in several PO drilled holes and some rust.

I need a shot of the mounting surface on the nose for the tii fuel filter. Is it just a round hole or is it a round hole and a square slot for a body nut (speednut)? Location of hole?

Also, details trivia: When did the spot-welded metal tabs get replaced with the plastic cable hangers? The old nose on my tii had the plastic hangers across the front of the radiator for the headlight/horn harness. I just realized tonight that the cable harness & washer hoses on the firewall are held in place with the metal tabs. Is this the norm on all 02s, or did they also use the plastic cable hangers there?

my 70 had the metal tabs and my new nose (unknown year but a roundie) has the holes for the plastic keepers. i ordered a 70 nose but mobile tradition cannot be trusted

If it helps at all, my '75 and a parts car '74 both have the holes for the plastic ring-clips.

The fuel filter mount is with a body nut, and thus the nose has a slot and a hole for the nut. Email me to remind me to give you the location dimensions later this weekend.

The 72 and 73 tiis at my house have plastic cable hangers.

Here's a shot of mine. Now that I see it in picture I see I now need to paint it. I'll disassembly tonight, paint and re-post just a pcture of the bracket.

Mine is a '72 and uses the plastic tabs, got replacement ones from dealer a couple of years ago when I re-wrapped my wires after seeing Keith's.

Blunt- When I remove the metal tabs, I'll mail them off to you.

Could you mail me the holes in your car so I can install them on mine?
