What do you call this thing and where can I get one?
 

I need one of these do-hickys. It holds cables in place.

The Love Zone?:D :D :D

Isn't that the symbol for the artist formerly known as "Prince"?

No, that is a regular hicky. I guess I should expect these answers on a Friday night. Here's a pic of it on the heater tube.

The cruise control cable was secured by that clip. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I may still have my clip. I'll send it to you if I find it. I removed my non functioning CC.

a bodyshop supply should have something similar.

Found it. Send me your info via PM and I'll sent it to you early next week.

Dave

slodave-thanks. I need one for a wire on my transmission. It matches the one for the cruise cable.

I have been looking for one also.

You could replace it with a ty-wrap attachment block, then add on the ty-wrap. Not factory, but it would work.

They are called OMEGA clips for their shape. I have found them through the MBZ dealer in defferent sizes. Not sure if other dealers/parts sources have them.

Thanks guys.

Ask Wayne to stock them.

Ah-ha! I have a mystery hole in my heater vent tube. The CC cable on mine was broken off at the throttle body end of the cable tube. Every time the throttle was opened, the cable sagged down, the tube slipped out of its plastic collar, and the whole thingamajig descended. When the throttle was closed again, the tube would lightly catch slipping back in - only a matter of time until it catches a bit better, leaving the engine at 1/2 throttle at an inconvenient time. I didn't know I was missing the mentioned clip, which would have prevented this failure in the first place. So, I wouldn't drive without it for too long.

On the bright side, a coax cable clamp from home depot (box of 25 for $2.95) does a nice job as a stand - in. Screwed right in place. Careful application of my wife's favorite fix-all (superglue) on the cable tube to collar joint (mine broke off 1/2" inside its plastic collar) got the cruise cable back in shape as well. (My wife, to my amazement, once successfully attached the RH OSRV Mirror on our old beater Alero with superglue. Amazingly, it held for 6 or 8 months!)
