Wiring loom/harness fastening clip

**asimplelife** · 17-07-2022, 09:12 AM

Does anyone have a product they use?
This is to replace those black clips which hold various size wiring and tubes to the body. In what seems to be a 7.5mm hole. They seem to come with an anti rattle washer.

Looking at the website of Clips and Fasteners recommended here, all I can see is this Mazda one (although when you contact them they can point out products that don't seem to appear in website searches).

Because there are different thickness looms, what would seem ideal is something like this incorporating a cable tie?

The clip-in cable ties are readily available with a couple of different fixing hole sizes. Some brands are made so they can be readily opened up and closed again.

You can also buy clip-in saddles that a regular cable tie loops through.

Lots of better prices than at E14 for your likely quantities, shop around.

i actually reuse what unbroken ones i have .... or when visiting wreckers remove what i can & keep [not overly hard just need correct tools]. an example - i havn't found any clips for the tailgate trim on mine [BA wagooon] of the correct diameter . . . . so i'm using commondore wagon clips! - very snug fit compared to what i was using. that 1st link of yours made me think of the plastic clip that holds the door lever cable to the door [BA/BF not sure re AU].

Thankyou for the response.
The E14 one was just for an example of what I was trying to describe.

Can I please ask for some supplier names?
Sorry if I appear lazy, but I had already checked Clips and Fastener, Ebay and a general Google search, without anything really standing out for me.
Or are you saying just go down to SuperCheap? I can't seem to see anything online that they have.

Yes I am doing the same thing right now as I strip down my 2x AU wagons (gave up trying to make 1 out of 2 and bought an old guys mint wagon on gas). As I am keeping all the wiring harnesses too, atm these clips are staying with the harnesses. Have a few hundred glass jars with lids and I am cataloguing every part I remove (because I just can't remember what's what).

I just thought with these harness clips, for 20 bucks I might be able to buy a pack of 50 or a 100 from somewhere which could be handy to have on the shelf in the years to come (I've still got another 4 sedans to finish off after the wagons).
I've already done the same thing with the 6 and 8mm scrivets and the bonnet insulation clips.
But haven't had as much luck finding these harness clips.

It’s not close to you but K&R (Seven Hills) are one supplier of the cable tie clips, I think they do the saddles as well. They’re mostly wholesale but accept walk-ins. As they self-package I don’t know if they are the importer or one down the food chain.
