Any good wire holder ideas out there? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Im almost finished rewiring my headlights and engine harness. I have the wiring in the plastic tubing and it is running in the front of the core support. I need some ideas to hold it in place. I didnt want to just ziptie it to the front of the core support. I was thinking of screwing hose clamps to the core support and then holding it like that but it seemed ghetto also.

I found these, but they are not big enough to hold the harness and the plastic wrapping with the wires in it. Anyone have any recommendations???

I would recommend going to amazon or grainger.com and do a search for "wire management". There is a ton of stuff available out there used in the computer networks and electrical communities, and you might find some good stuff and ideas for managing the wiring in your truck.

easy to make out of a flat piece of aluminium then either polish or paint to suit your taste

The classic truck vendors sell the stock plastic wire gutters for both the core support and the firewall.

I got some screw on loops from the same place I got the plastic tubing like used on new cars.I think I got it at NT or HF.It comes in whatever size the tubing is and just uses one screw to hold it closed and attached.(for each loop).
