I am cleaning, glass beading and getting ready to paint my 69 BB valve covers, and was wondering if anyone sells the tabs that bend over to hold the wiring harness?

Thanks

Duane

How do you attach them securely? Any non welding way (JB Weld)?

They are spot welded in place , I don't know if epoxy is a good way to secure them but let us know how that works for you .

Wouldn't those be the same on a hemi cover to hold the wiring harness ?

sort of the same....the only difference is they cost twice as much for the HEMI pieces.

If you want them done right, take them to a sheet metal/hvac shop and have them spot welded in place. I doubt they'd even charge you; I wouldn't.

Well what I have is correct for the solenoid wire on a pair of 70-71 Hemi valve covers. The other ones on a hemi cover that hold the wiring harness are not available anywhere that I have seen. When I have needed one I'd have to make it from scratch (time consuming!). I did notice on the front fenders of my 70 Cuda that the tabs for holding the wiring near the headlights sure LOOKED like hemi tabs.

also... I always spot weld them on, it's real quick to do. If you don't have a spot welder take it to someplace that does. They'll be able to do it so fast I also doubt they would charge you.

i'm sorry, but you are mistaken here and obviously out of touch.

hemi prices are at least three times as much.

haven't seen those tabs on the cuda. i'll take a look if i get a chance.

if i want to go for it i'll have to do it from scratch as well, was just hoping someone had them.

thanks!
