Harness Clips ?

Unread post by on-to-berlin » June 11th, 2017, 1:46 pm

I am looking for the harness clips in the engine compartment. Mine are all broken. I have checked with most of the dealers in Europe but no one seems to have them.
Does anyone know where to find these?
Help much apreciated!

The original large spring clips are basically unavailable
The later style replacement style clips are pricey.
Restoration Specialties has them available reasonably.
The later vinyl ones are also available

Hope ths helps

I couldn't find anything in Restoration Specialties? Maybe they no longer carry them?

Maybe not!
Try B1255A Frame clip.
This is the equivalent of what the military used after the spring clip style were no longer available.
I found them on a lot of old 151 harnesses.
Its like what FLMV sells.
They are 1/2 inch.

FIl, I couldn`t find them on the net.

The best what ebay.com had to offer was this:

You might try FLMC they have front and rear clips I think the prices are around $5 $6 each last time I checked.
