Looking to purchase the wire clips that are welded to the back of the trunk panel to hold the wire loom to the tail and side lights.
Could only find a clip that is used on the bell housing for a transmission wire loom? Any place to get the proper wire clips for the trunk?
Are they the same clips that are used to hold the brake lines on the fire wall?
They are selling these at $10 bucks a clip OUCH

We reproduce several different styles of the various engine, firewall, radiator core support and trunk area harness clips. I am not sure if any of the ones that we offer will fit your application. From your picture, it appears that they could be quite easily cut and bent to the desired shape from just a piece of old sheet metal.

They are not listed on the website, just too much to list. Also, I am coming to find out that there are way more variations than what we originally thought when we first started to making these.

These are from my avatar's trunk. 2nd owner since '82 @ 34k miles so I'm pretty sure its original.

Here's the rest. I tried to take these in order but some of them got blurry.

Soon I'll be looking at 'proper' putty dam on the rear wheel wells of the F-4 to direct water from the top drain rail to the 1/4 weeps.
Trying to wrap up research, any input would be very welcome.

@RJHJR, thanks for posting the various pictures of the wiring tabs on your car. As you see, just within the trunk compartment, there were a number of different styles that were used. Then if you look under the hood, you will see different variations on the firewalls, valve covers and radiator supports. After looking at your pictures, I see that we could easily add more different styles to complement what we currently offer.

Thanks for responding to my inquiry.
RJ did a good job of posting pics
Essentially, I need the clips that are at the bottom of the tail panel, that hold the wiring harness in place.

They are:
2 1/2 inches long
5/8 inches width
1/2 inch exposed metal w 2 inches dipped

Can you make a recommendation for something close from what you sell?

Thanks
Phil

Mine was the same way; clips painted yellow and above the tail lights, the upper panel got very little paint

Let me know if i can offer more help.
