FreshAir Duct and AC Condenser Clips

[WMichelsen]

Does anyone know a source for the clips binding the fresh-air-duct and AC-condenser clam shell assemblies. I'm missing a couple, and would like to replace them.

In the PET, they seem to be considered part of the assembly and not listed separately. At least, I can't find any part number associated with them.

Can you fish a zip tie thru there?

[WMichelsen]

Yup. I've used zip ties before. For no functional reason, I'm just fixated on replacing the missing clips.

Maybe try looking at a few later year PET’s ?
Since these “heater box” clips are vehicle specific, some from Audi/VW maybe even BMW and MB have used something universally similar that might work - but probably fishing expedition.
Example:

That looks pretty close. I'll research those alternatives a bit. Thanks for the info.

Would the one used on the evap box work?

Yes, those are the same clips for the front blower that fit the condenser blower.

Those clips are brittle with age. Porsche sells them individually, but zip-ties work as a temp fix if you’re waiting on parts. The duct just needs to stay seated.

In the instructions for the Griffith's Air Conditioning set up - for the evaporator box with similar clips, he recommends drilling small holes and using screws instead... maybe not exactly same configuration here but should work.
