Subject:Clip for temperature sensors at thermostat housing (2.1L)
From:Matt Roberds

Hello all!

Thanks for the advice on the missing cooling system parts on the '87 GL
(2.1L wasserboxer) my friend was thinking of buying.  He ended up buying
it and has some of the missing parts on order.  The one piece that neither
of us can find, so far, are the spring clips that hold the two temperature
sensors onto the thermostat housing.  The sensors are hanging from the
harness and he has the O-rings on order, but no clips.  From the parts
catalogs, they look like a U-shaped piece of wire, maybe 2" tall x 1"
wide (5 cm x 2.5 cm).  I might be able to fake it temporarily with some
solid copper wire or maybe a coat hanger, but it would be nice to have
the right parts.

Does anyone have a source for these clips?  Thanks!
