Product Details

Features

  • Black steel clips secure TSP fabricated aluminum reservoirs to Type II pump bodies
  • Direct replacement for lost, damaged, or missing factory retaining clips
  • Fits GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) pumps with integral fabricated reservoirs only
  • Not compatible with P-series pumps or remote-reservoir Type II setups

Description

These black steel retaining clips secure TSP fabricated aluminum reservoirs to GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) power steering pump bodies. They're a direct replacement for the small but critical hardware that keeps the reservoir locked to the pump body during operation — commonly needed when a reservoir has been removed for service, a pump body has been replaced, or the original clips have been lost or damaged.

These are application-specific clips for TSP Type II pump and fabricated reservoir assemblies, not universal power steering hardware. Confirm the quantity included and verify compatibility with your specific pump and reservoir combination before ordering.


Applications
Fits GM Type II (Saginaw TC-series) power steering pumps using a fabricated aluminum integral reservoir, including TSP fabricated aluminum reservoirs and other compatible GM Type II fabricated reservoir designs. Not compatible with GM Saginaw P-Series ("canned ham") pumps or remote-reservoir Type II pump setups.

Installation
Secures the reservoir to the pump body using the original retaining clip design. A missing or damaged clip can allow the reservoir to shift or separate from the pump body during operation, disrupting fluid supply — these clips restore that connection directly.
