CJ's sell a metal tie wrap that matches the ones that were on my 67 C Code

If you're referring to the ones in the attached photos, Jack at Deadnutson.com sells them and I think AMK may sell them as well.  The reproductions look good but are too bright white IMO.  NOS or at least claimed so by the sellers show up on ebay occasionally. 

Best of luck to you.

Not correct for added amp gauge harness on 67 Shelby.

Also found many times at the various tool vendors at larger swap meets. Yellowed and all.

Thanks all that replied. I thought they may be the same as the Panduit tie wrap that was used on the '69 mustang tail lamp harness at the base of the inner fender, which I believe Dead Nuts offers.

Bob, the newer version of the tie wrap isn't the same, however the older ones were more of a off white/cream color, the newer nylon style are usually stark white.
As for the aluminum straps, they were used on the heater hoses, and were in good condition, so there they will be returned.

Here is a pic of the style noted -- a Panduit brand strap.

If this is indeed the correct strap, in what orientation is it installed on the export brace?
I assume they cut the end off the strap, but with the strap assembled as shown in the pic I'm not sure to where the end of the strap points.

Here is how they appear on car 962 in a picture taken in May 1967.

Thanks 67_1183. If I see this right, like the cross section in this pic?
Black = Export Brace
Green = Ammeter wire
Red = Panduit Strap

The trapezoid end of the strap is shown extended for clarity. It ends up in the "block" when installed tight.

Don't over think it. In reality they were not installed only one way based on survivor observations.

You do know who you are talking to, right?
