Where to get the correct retainers to hold the vaccum lines to the inner fender?

I'm doing some engine compartment research and it looks like the vacuum lines for the headlights are retained using some clips on the inner fender.

Anyone have a pic of what these clips look like, and a source to get them?

Thanks!!

mine were ran along the inner fender along with the stock underhood wiring strap kit    :shruggy:

I'm fairly certain the vacuum hoses have a clip they are taped to, and mount up on the inner fender. I was wrestling with getting all the hoses, battery cable, wiring, etc. under those clips and I figure out why. Found this picture in this link http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,22311.0.html



Also the assembly manual shows it having a clip as well (at the top "view in circle w")



Whatever clip that is, looks like I need 2 or 3 of them :)

It is the same clip that E-Bodies use to clip the headlight harness onto the inner fender by the battery. They were usually taped on each side of center. I will try and find a pic.

There are (2) "T" shaped push in clips that hold the vac hoses to the top of the inner fender.....the hoses rest in the middle of the clips & the electrical tape secures the hoses to the clip.
I got my set used from a friend....I heard that Ford uses them as well....

So I take it not reproduced then? Gah! That's going to be hard to find...

I have also seen a similar clip on 70-71 440-6's. It was one style that was used to hold the idle solenoid wire...We call it the "T" clip" style. I know who has those - I will ask him if it is similar.

It should be pretty easy to find.  Many modern cars to this day still still use the same clip.

thats what everyone says about the hood pop up spring retainers. :brickwall:
wingless now, but still around.

Here is one style of the solenoid clip I mentioned earlier. I believe it is the same or darn close to the harness clips. Sorry - crappy pics.

I also found one along the rear main electrical harness holding the harness to the trunk floor near the left wing support.  :Twocents:

My 73 vette uses the exact same clip to hold the idle solenoid wire. I checked the vette parts vendors and can't find it.

C'mon! Anyone?!

Correct - not in white, but RT Specialties has them called a "Wire Strap". $3 each! Just ordered!
