jerryasi Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 There are six plastic cable holders that carry the right headlight & horn wires across the top of the radiator to primary loom, I purchased a set from W&N that are brittle and break apart, must have ordered them 2 years ago in anticipation of this day of assembly. Does anyone know a vender who has the softer plastic variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Marty Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Try these guys https://www.clipsandfasteners.com/default.asp might not have the exact original but should have something that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustrianVespaGuy Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Not sure your level or restoration purity goals, but on my car I found that some of the larger zip ties are conveniently sized so that the strap will fit through the body holes but the head is large enough not to!

PaulTWinterton Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Complain to W&N. They will likely send you another batch N/C. Even explaining that you bought them 2 years ago shouldn't be an issue if they are brittle. Customer satisfaction is important to them. Personally, I'd prefer the OE holders vs. a work-around. And make sure you order the right size. I think there are 2 sizes. Behind the rad are the shorter ones, IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryasi Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 I sent Anja and email last night have not heard back. Might use some zips in the meantime. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calw Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I recently got some from W&N and found that there were 3 sizes in the bag. They worked correctly, but I found that if your sheet metal holes are the least bit undersized (from painting), they can be hard to get in, and will be damaged if you have to remove to add that last wire which you forgot the first time. 2 years ain't very long either... If I were doing it again, I'd get standard cable holders with a metal core and bolt them in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimk Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 For attachment to sheet metal, I use these. Sorry they are not color coordinated (black). Don't know where they are available, I bought a sack full at a local electronics store that is no longer around. In addition to the anchor, they have a release tab to reopen them for future additions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
