Have A Question About Firewall Clips

Where can I find the white plastic clip/loops that hold the engine harness to the fire wall. The ones that push into the firewall from the engine compartment side. I've been unable to find new ones. Thanks in advance.

 

Have you done a Google image search?
Try wire push cable clamp.

 

I don't think anybody reproduces white ones. NOS ones used to show up on ebay occasionally but I haven't seen them in a few years.

I've switched to these equivalent black ones: https://autofastenersandclips.com/products/auveco-8272-nylon-strap?variant=19613781959


As long as you're not doing a factory restoration, I think the black ones look better anyway. If you are doing a factory resto, I wish you luck finding white ones.

 

They serve the purpose, and that is good enough for me, and government work.

 

I like to use Adel clamps

I use these clamps on mine. They come in different sizes so you can use the appropriate clamp for the size of the wire loom you’re running.

 

Over the years I've tried to save as many of the white ones as I could. But with the move to my parents house, they have gone into deep hiding and under witness protection program. My level of clearance does not allow me access.
I just ordered the black ones that fireball recommended. My 68 is almost done and I was close to finishing up the wiring harness yesterday. That project is not a factory resto as I've upgraded the axles to flanged offset 44 rear, Dana 30 front with disc and cross over DOM front steering with tie rod flip. Still stock V6 box, but it just steers so much better. But my goal was to try and keep the stock appearances up, but make it a little better platform.

 

The next things I have to attempt to find are the metal frame clips that hold the rear harness in. I cleaned and painted those and put them away somewhere. Now I'll take a bottle of bourbon down to the barn along with two battery powered lights and start looking through about 40 plastic bins. Or just go to Napa and see if they have them. But I'll leave the bourbon home.

 

Different sizes, different metals, different cushion materials, and even different cushion and "hoop"designs. The aircraft versions are usually skeletonized aluminum with a lip on the cushion for full surround of the cable. For automotive use, I like the UMPCO stainless steel-EPDM versions. I keep a parts bin cabinet full of them from dash 4 to dash 70 something sizes. I still have a pretty good supply of the aircraft certified versions too-from Northrup Grumman and Boeing.

 

Zip ties seem to work fine for me.

 

PM me. I had to buy a box of 100.

 

Nice! I had not been able to find white ones.

Black ones came in. I'm heading out to finish up the harness Tuesday. Spent my 4th weekend helping the granddaughter move into her college digs. Glad I started early. It's pouring down kitty's and pup's today. But I have a bunch of stuff ready to go, bumper and skid painted, seats waiting and my jeep logo gas pedal and studs, voltage regulator. So hopefully, minus getting the half cab painted, it should be ready for gas this week.

 

This is the brand I purchased. They are at this link.

They appear to be the same as the Restoration Specialties at the link above.

 

Unfortunately I was only able to get in a half day on the CJ6 this week. Hopefully next week will be better. Two things have stalled me a little, Voltage regulator style and the wiring for the rear of the cluster. My new harness has the three prong plug and the regulator I bought has the flat individual male prongs and there is 5 total. Now I'm looking for a Standard Motor products VR 124, which should be right for the harness.
