Rear wiring harness clips

Post by Gerry »

Anyone have a picture of the rear wiring harness clips on the rear cross member? I am mounting my harness and my clips are missing. I want to stay original looking.
Thanks,
Gerry

Gerry Do you what the ones that the doughlas connectors push into or a strap like clip? Do you have the TM 9-8030? May 1955 Pg 214 The photo is a bit small but that may help. I have some that are very close to the original. Ed

Ed,
I did find a picture and I need the 3 looped connectors. Where did you find the ones you have?
Thanks,
Gerry

This is what I'm using, the original ones were steel & dipped in some type of plastic stuff.

Gerry I hope we're talking about the same item. If you're looking for a strap type clamp like M37 Bruce shows, I made all the ones I needed from sheet metal cut to size, I used a socket from a socket set that matched the diameter needed then coated with plastic dip. I have some extra of theses. If you're looking for the clamps that the douglas connectors push into, the ones for the double connector I bought them from a electrical manufacture, I have extras of those. The smaller ones, I had to find them one way or another. Which ones are you looking for? Ed

Look at McMaster-Carr. They have something very similar. http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/119/1517/=l1mmnc

Here are the clips, holders etc. The larger on the right is for the double connectors, that's the original,the ones next to them on the left are the replacement ones I bought, They are a bit different, could you see the difference? The next ones to the left are the smaller metal connectors, single type and triple. The wire straps to the left and bottom are the ones I made.Image
