Automotive related. I am looking for this style wire clips, stud mount. It goes on a 2012 Ford Transit Connect, Ford does not sell them individually,you have to buy the entire valve cover kit. I found them online, but I have to buy 1500 hundred at a time at a cost of $114. Any help is appreciated.

Maybe just cut the broken part off and thread a common wire tie through the opening? |

They are to brittle, and the part the goes on the stud are breaking off as well. But thanks for pointing out the obvious. |

Here comes Mr. Obvious 2.0; Cut a piece of plastic tubing to the length needed and slip it over the stud. Drill a hole through the sides where the stud is not. Slip zip-tie through hole and cinch down with wire trapped.

I like Ourdee's idea. Given the temps and heat soaking involved, I might go with oil line instead of plastic tubing. Available by the foot at the auto parts store of your choice. Hope this helps, Dave |
