Wanted - Wiring Loom Cable Clips

[testrider]

I'm after some new ones of these for holding the wiring loom in place along the sides of the engine bay...

Anyone know where I can buy them?

Mercedes Benz do a very similar plastic clip, but without all the ribs along the strap, and with a pin that spreads out the fastening when tapped into place. The difference being they are easier to open and re-use. I'm told it is possible to open the original ones, but I didn't manage a single one removing two different wiring looms from the engine bay. Sorry, neither a part number or a picture to help you, but ask at your nearest MB dealer spares counter. They look tidier, still somehow 'right' or at least not a glaring change to an older car.

Hey, Paul...

In Anaheim, CA; but their online shopping cart calculates to any International destination + they claim "same-day shipping" on their catalog; Au-Ve-Co, which is only one of the lines they distribute, list 18,000 different fasteners ( so if it ain't there, it likely doesn't exist )

You're looking for a "loom routing clip"

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I've also just found out that Land Rover list a similar item which was used on the P38 Range Rover so I might nip down to our local dealer to see what they have.

I saw these Land Rover ones on eBay so I thought I'd give them a go.

They're not exactly the same as the originals, but at £2.99 for 10 they're worth a try.

They look like they should be ok. Good find. Black will blend in better too

 

[testrider]

That's what I thought too. We'll see what happens when they arrive.......

Quick update on this. The Land Rover part number is AAU3686 and I think they're for a P38 Range Rover. 10 is enough for the engine bay - 5 per side - although there are more behind the dash.

Got the loom clips through the post in next day and first impressions were that they might be too long to clip the P6 loom tight. But, I needn't have worried, they fit the holes in the shell perfectly and fasten the loom down nice and tight.

Sorry, I didn't take a close up of them in situ though.

Looking good Paul - it's so much less cluttered under the bonnet than the NADA.

The finishing line is in sight...
