Replying to your Ry/EM.9/J.2.1.36.,
we do not consider it is possible to do away with this clip entirely in view of the length of unearthed cable, but what we do suggest is that this one clip is superseded by two clips mounted at the base of the camshaft drive. These clips could be conveniently made as pressings bolted to the three existing bolts holding down the camshaft drive and they would be extremely accessible whereas we quite agree that the existing clip is most inaccessible.
