Topic: Trunk Wire Clip? 67 San Jose

[Ralf]

Hello,

Does anyone know some details about this clip?

- name/number of the clip?
- manufacturer/source?

How is this clip fixed/mounted on the metal folding (hole)?





Thx
Ralf

Are you questioning if your car should have this?  Looks like yours is a convertible, but this pic is a fastback.  Also, do you know when/where the car in the pic was built?  Best to know for sure if this applies to your own car before copying details.

The Electrical Assy Manual specifies a C3SB-14A163-A Retainer for all models.
It attaches to the wheelhouse fin over the black plastic luggage protector.
It's also the way the fuel tank sensor wire is held in place under the car.
The Manual specifies the use of a plastic shield retainer (C7ZB-14A088-A) under the car, but I've only seen the use of the C3 retainer in the wild.

Here is a straight on and 90* view.
Note in the straight on view that the top 60% or so of this side is rubber coated. The center finger is coated on both sides, to protect the wire. This example has been P/Oed, so the rubber is hard to make out.

Note that this example is out of the GT350 in that location.

Initially, I thought it was that clip too, but when blowing up the image, it doesn't seem like it is.

I can't make out his clip.

Both my early SJ March cars (one is a parts car, the other in my sig) have this clip here and under the car to hold the gas gauge wire.

I'll have to search the Luggage Protector thread to find more pics  ...

On edit -- found a concours original that Jeff had posted in this thread:

Please note that all three of these examples are SJ cars -- your mileage may vary.

Here is the pic including the retainer:

Your picture shows the most typical version that I have seen in observations of 67 SJ fastback trunks.

My NOV 66 Shelby has a different clip than this. It is plastic with a  spring steel interior.

Please snap a picture. Love to see it!

Will do! I can't find the thread for the 4 speed back up lamp switch part number tag.

Here is the clip.

Keith, that is the clip I was looking for. Thank you.

Is there any source available to get this clip?

Also thx to the others supporting me on this issue.

I'm a bit confused, because I have asked a question and used a pic, which is not related to my car.

EXACTLY true! I think you should investigate this further before buying one, there looks like there could be different ones used here or there at different assembly plants or dates...better to look at unrestored examples on both sides of your build date & location IMHO.

To avoid to end up in a total confusion.

Again, this clip is not for my car! I know my car, and I know that I have a convertible. 
I'm searching this for a friend of mine,  who has a 67 SJ FB.

Interesting thread.

OK, when was it built?
