Plastic wire loom clips
I'm finishing up a 3.2l engine rebuild/restore, and there is one silly little part that I can not find.
 There are a number of plastic wire loom clips on the engine and transmission. See picture. Two of the larger clips mount on the engine air shield to hold the engine wire loom in place. Mine are broken. I thought that these would be easy to find because I think that I have encountered them on various vehicles over the years, but I have searched the PET many times and Googled for hours, and I can't find these things. I even contacted the Canadian company that makes beautiful replacement Porsche engine wire looms with no success. Does anyone know of a source or a part number? Thanks.

Amazon has them, mouser electronics, cable ties unlimited. Some refer to them as Push mount cable ties. Also check with timmy2 on the forum here he might have something closer to oem.

I'm pretty sure I've seen them in the "Dorman" displays at FLAPS. Lots of cars use them. Maybe not yellow, usually black.

Thanks for the responses. I don't care too much about the color, and I agree that lots of cars use these, so they should be out there somewhere. Per the suggestions I checked Mouser, Amazon and Dorman using the various nomenclature suggested in the replies with no luck. I did find the more modern cable tie type push mount, but I am hoping to find something more original. I sent a message to timmy2, so perhaps he can help.

Try Omega clip for generic options.
VW part number 971321847A seems right but I only come up with german specialty restoration shops. |

Go to mouser/ cable management/ cable tie mounts. There’s several different ones.
