I’ve got a 63 saloon that has one of the rod boot stays, however I don’t know which is the correct holder for it.
I have seen the rubber gripper variety and the metal clip variety, but I don’t know which one is right, anyone care up help?

My 1963 has the rubber type. It's an early 1098 version

If the bootlid has the rectangular hole for the rubber retainer, then that is what it should have. I think that type was used from about 1959 anyway?
Prior to that they used a metal clip held by 2 self tapping screws. My 1958 car has this.

I recall my dad's 62 had a metal clip. My 63vwas only a few months apart but it had a rubber clip. I have no reason to think its not original in both cases
