Help Front wiring harness problem 63 vette

[Blk63Vette]

Hi

I have a problem I hope someone has and answer for me..

I am replacing the front wiring harness for my 1963 Corvette..I bought a new one from lectrical limited..

Problem...The old harness has (two plastic white "T" clips) plastic clips that are woven into the harness to keep it up against the front inside header panel..

The new ones do not have the two plastic clips :confused

I looked into the AIM corvette manual its shows metal clips that hold the wiring harness on place..

I looked online last night and saw these metal clips for sale...I was wondering if these clips can hold the harness in place up against header panel..The "middle section" of the harness in the header panel is bulky I am wondering if this metal clip will be (big enough) able to hold the harness in place?

Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do?

Thanks for your help
Peter

IMO if the original harness had the clips, the replacement should too. As Lectric Limited to send them to you, or swap the cable. If you untie the wrap knot where it ends, you can insert the clips and rewrap, but if the cable isn't installed yet, ask to swap it.

The AIM is a snapshot in time, ECLs (changes) occurred frequently and the AIM pages were changed to show the new method. What you see is a copy of a factory AIM that existed on a certain date, and that may or may not have been properly updated.

PS In order to keep my entire harness encapsulated in plastic loom, I stuck GM loom retainers in the holes for the clips. You can pull them out of GM cars in the junk yard. The ones in the trunks are the cleanest.
