Ok y'all, does anyone out there know a cheaper source for these? They hold the main wiring harness as it routes along the backside of the instrument panel. I think I'll need about six or seven of them. The old ones snapped to little pieces when I was pulling the IP out. These are $8 each, they're 3D printed.

I'll be buying these otherwise.

You'll need to know the factory OEM PN, (or you may get lucky, and they'll look it up for you) but the one place in the United States that may have the original versions of those clips will be the same place that sells factory Ford Fairmont side marker lights.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

At least if you get the 3d printed ones you can use those cool glasses and they will appear to be coming right at you.

I appreciate that Allen, but those are probably pretty brittle too.
