Seeking Wire Connector Tabs

[Central Cal]

Hello Everyone,

Anybody have any of these or know where I can get some?

How many do you need? I have a large plastic jar full of parts like that.

[Gary Lewis]

I hoard that kind of thing, but don't have any just like that.

Unfortunately those aren't usually a "Ford" part.  Instead they are held to the wiring harnesses by tape, and I don't think Ford made the harnesses.  They just specified where the retainer needed to be and what size of hole they needed to fit.

These look like the kind the slide into the connector itself (like the dome line connector at the bottom of the B pillar). The ones that get taped directly into the harness can be found online but I haven't seen this kind to purchase outside of a jy.

I have a large assortment of Ford, GM and Chrysler wiring harness and connector retainers. He is seeking NOS or unused ones for a restoration. I sent him pictures of what I have in that style.

There are these cable ties with push in retainers,  https://www.cabletiesunlimited.com/8-50lb-uv-black-fir-tree-cable-ties-100-bag-part-8-50-fir-tree.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw7e_0BRB7EiwAlH-goDOa8q9SbyBrbA36tL-Mpf1LPzWlKkPSAVZnMKmjlwYKsWzC8zScPhoCGesQAvD_BwE

Or, harness saddles like these:http://www.springmillsmfg.com/wire-harness-clips.html

Oh, I see!
Ill need to take a deep dive into the catalogs.
I'll be back

I guess not quite like this: https://www.auveco.com/christmas-trees/taurus-sable-roof-liner-moulding-retainer-14758
Although the head and stem size seem correct.



I wonder if one could be carved into what you need?

[Central Cal]

Thank you...

I checked Auveco already... thanks for the help though.

[Central Cal]

Hello,

Thanks for your time. Not really the style needed. I tried the wire harness clips, to see if i could modify them... no luck there.  

[Central Cal]

Bill has some of the type I need. We're involved in some tough negotiations right now... lol

It's really close to an F1TZ-14A163-E, but the -E has a second alignment pin to keep components from moving. You could definitely make it work though.

Wiring retainers are frequently available, just poorly cataloged and stupid expensive. I'll keep looking and see if I can find the exact one.

[Gary Lewis]

Myrl - If you can come up with a good catalog of these things we could put it up on here and it would be a big help to us.

[myrl883]

Sorry Gary, that's the problem. They were VERY poorly cataloged until about 2010 when Ford finally started illustrating them. I wish I could help!

[Gary Lewis]

Ok, thanks anyway.

[85lebaront2]

On their way to you.
