Description
Overview:
This genuine WIPAC filter bowl strap (OEM No. MA3129/BOWL CLIP) is a durable fixing for vintage Wipac fuel filter assemblies used on JAP engines. Made from corrosion-resistant plated steel in a silver finish, it wraps around the filter bowl and tightens to hold the bowl firmly against the filter head, helping to maintain a reliable seal and prevent leaks under vibration. It is suitable for restorations and maintenance on classic engines such as JAP 4, and is commonly associated with Wipac JAP Models 4/3, 5, and 6. Supplied as unused old stock, it may show light storage marks, tarnish, or dust, but remains fully serviceable. A straightforward, robust solution for keeping vintage fuel systems secure and working as intended.
Key Features:
- Genuine WIPAC part for correct fit and specification (OEM No. MA3129/BOWL CLIP)
- Plated steel construction for strength and corrosion resistance
- Secures the filter bowl to maintain gasket compression and reduce fuel seepage
- Stable under engine vibration to help prevent loosening in service
- Simple to fit with basic hand tools; no modifications typically required
- Suitable for Wipac filter assemblies on JAP 4-series engines and related vintage models
- Ideal for authentic restorations where original-style hardware is preferred
- New old stock: unused item that may display minor ageing from long-term storage
Typical Applications:
Used to fasten the sediment or fuel filter bowl on older JAP-powered equipment fitted with Wipac filtration, including stationary engines on mowers, compact tractors, rotavators, generators, pumps, and site machinery such as cement mixers. Helps keep vintage engines fuel-tight, reliable, and easier to service during routine maintenance.
