Original wire routing clips

[Lynn]

Came up with my own solution. A little labor intensive, but stuff like this keeps me out of trouble.

Started with a later model clip, Auveco number is A14546. I bought them from clips and fasteners.com.

That is the first pic.

Trimmed it down.

Took the trimmed down clip to the bench grinder and grooved the back side for a cleaner fit.

Removed the old clip. Tried to save the staple. Some survived, but replaced those that didn't with a common office staple.

Drilled two small holes in the new clip to match up with the staple.

Attached to the inner retaining sleeve with the staple.

Put a very small wrap of electrical tape very tightly around the stapled area just for insurance.

Wrapped the entire harness with new non-adhesive vinyl wrap in the correct width.

Looks pretty darn factory.

These new clips are VERY tough. Although they trim easily with a fresh razor blade, they can take a twist and pull and remain intact.

I bought 75 of them, because in bulk they are unbelievably cheap.
If you need some, PM me your address and twll me how many. As with the pay it forward classifieds, I assume this will be for your own vehicle.
