I have seen 2 69 RR's with them on it now and it made me curious. It looks like black wire loom (ribbed plastic kind of) and just where the heater hoses cross under the radiator hose. Not sure if it's stock or someone had an issue with rubbing in the past and added them or what. Just struck me as odd that the two pics I have seen them on were 69 RR's.

I don't recall seeing them back when they were new, and none of my half-dozen original Road Runners or Chargers had them, but they were at least 15 years old when I got them. Such things may have been removed, but I'd like to see photo evidence of them. I do remember adding the tin straps on a couple of cars, so I wonder if those were added.

I don't recall seeing them back when they were new, I started mechanic work when these cars were 2 ~ 3 years old, I don't recall seeing ANY sleeves. If there were any OEM, there'd be part numbers.

Robert Unless they only came with hoses and not separate. They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
