MG MGB Technical - Expensive part number search.

Does anyone know if there is a part number for the wire retaining clip for the altenator electrical connector please?
I have purchased a new plastic connector with spade terminals but it came clipless.

It might be worth giving Autosparks a call - 0115 949 7211

They list the plug and connectors, but I can't see the clip on their site.

There is no real need for the retaining clip, the plug will stay in unless deliberately pulled out. Cheers - Dave

Thanks Daves
I think I will try to make a clip myself. I am sure I don't need one but just for looks!!

The clip is part of the alternator - it is a Lucas part, not sold separately AFAIK.

Try an auto electrical supplier or visit the local scrappy.

Gents. Success, I bit the bullit and made my own. Works a treat!
I don't have to but a new alternator now ;)

Hunt up a gunsmith and he will have the spring wire to make it right and the abilities to do so. Do y'all have gunsmiths over there?
Gerry

No guns over here. Except with the baddies.
