Does anyone have a product they use?
This is to replace those black clips which hold various size wiring and tubes to the body. In what seems to be a 7.5mm hole. They seem to come with an anti rattle washer. Looking at the website of Clips and Fasteners recommended here, all I can see is this Mazda one (although when you contact them they can point out products that don't seem to appear in website searches). https://www.carpartsclipsandfastener...uskub5i6ucsfa4 Because there are different thickness looms, what would seem ideal is something like this incorporating a cable tie? https://au.element14.com/pro-elec/pe...PPING-PLA-PMAX |

The clip-in cable ties are readily available with a couple of different fixing hole sizes. Some brands are made so they can be readily opened up and closed again.
You can also buy clip-in saddles that a regular cable tie loops through. Lots of better prices than at E14 for your likely quantities, shop around. |

i actually reuse what unbroken ones i have .... or when visiting wreckers remove what i can & keep [not overly hard just need correct tools]. an example - i havn't found any clips for the tailgate trim on mine [BA wagooon] of the correct diameter . . . . so i'm using commondore wagon clips! - very snug fit compared to what i was using. that 1st link of yours made me think of the plastic clip that holds the door lever cable to the door [BA/BF not sure re AU].

Thankyou for the response.
The E14 one was just for an example of what I was trying to describe. Can I please ask for some supplier names? Sorry if I appear lazy, but I had already checked Clips and Fastener, Ebay and a general Google search, without anything really standing out for me. Or are you saying just go down to SuperCheap? I can't seem to see anything online that they have. |

I just thought with these harness clips, for 20 bucks I might be able to buy a pack of 50 or a 100 from somewhere which could be handy to have on the shelf in the years to come (I've still got another 4 sedans to finish off after the wagons). I've already done the same thing with the 6 and 8mm scrivets and the bonnet insulation clips. But haven't had as much luck finding these harness clips. |

It’s not close to you but K&R (Seven Hills) are one supplier of the cable tie clips, I think they do the saddles as well. They’re mostly wholesale but accept walk-ins. As they self-package I don’t know if they are the importer or one down the food chain.
