'48-'52 Wire loom clips

I am looking for the headlight loom clips that are fastened under the carriage bolts that hold the inner and outer fender together. Does anyone know if they are available? I think I only have 1 good one and I haven't seen them listed anywhere.
Thank you very much, Mark

I don't see the following listed in Carpenter's 1948/56 truck repro parts catalog, but my copy is the 2011 bound paper edition.

Pic from the 1948/56 Ford Truck Parts Catalog: 7RA-14197-A / Obsolete ~ No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

Could you post a picture of the one you have? I or someone else may have some extras.

I may have one or two that didn't get twisted up while removing the fender bolts. How many do you need?

Bill, Thank you for the scan of the parts book and the heads up on the availability of the clips. I looked in all the catalogs I have and didn't come up with any sources.
Thanks again, Mark

Thank you all for the replies.
51fred, Here are a couple of photos of the clip I need.
Ross, I have two that are good. I will need six more, as I will need to run some of my engine wiring on the passenger side. Let me know what you guys have and what you need for them.
Thank you again, Mark
BTW, Does anyone know what the tab sticking out from the bolt slot is for?

Those are different than the ones on my truck, but some of y wiring had already been (poorly) replaced. I will need to watch out for these!

I think the tab was originally bent down almost flat and retained the carriage bolts on the assembly line.

We got these two for sale, neither look like that one, but maybe they will work for you?

They are also available on Classic-Haulers site using the same part numbers

The bottom one is a clip used along the lower lip of the frame rail for the wiring running toward the back of the truck. The top one might work if you drill a hole. The problem with "saving" the original ones is the fact that it's connected to the legendary fender bolts (which usually require breaking to remove).

Ahh i see

Also if it helps, I see that Carpenter mentions that this part below "works" with the 7RA-14197-A number mentioned earlier? Im not to sure what that means though

midfifty, Thanks for the replies. I will keep your inner fender clips in mind, like doc said I would have to drill a hole to use them but, that may be my the best alternative.
Thanks again, Mark
