Engine Bay Plastic Straps

[The Rebel]

Hey guys. On the passenger side there are 3 clear plastic straps that I need to hold the heater core lines & window washer line to the side of the bay. They plug into the side by the wheel well and you then loop them around & they snap in.
I believe these are the ones but need a 2nd opinion.

They only hold the washer hose on the passenger side and positive battery on driver side. The heater hoses has a a bracket(off of the passenger Valve cover) ac/non AC use a different bracket. The other heater hose bracket is on the alternator bracket.

Thanks Justin! Looks like I'm missing the valve cover one, correct?

Thanks, so how does it clip onto my valve cover? I'm at work so can't pop my hood to check.

You said your missing the correct valve cover and I said "correct"...The ones you have are aftermarket and do not have the bracket on the passenger cover for the clip to attach. So either you change valve covers or find a better option to hold the heater hoses out of the way...the plastic loom is not a good idea. The 69 inner fender bracket is a good choice with the straps if you do not want to change your valve covers. It is in that same link...

Looks like you have aftermarket valve covers, so no hold down clip for heater hose. I would just go with the hose bracket that 69-70 used, that screws to inner fender.

Thanks guys! Looks like I'll order the alternator bracket.

If you dont change valve covers order this one too...

Quick question when I go to attach the bracket onto the alternator does that mean I also have to loosen up the tension on the alt belt, I'm assuming it does.

Yes...stick a piece of tape on the outer edge of the washer on the lower bolt....Once installed then pull the alternator back so the lower bolt lines up and tighten it....

I did the same thing. 69 bracket on my 68 GTX.

if you look at my valve cover, that one is the correct one for a 68. I subsequently changed V/C's to M/T ones, so I needed the 69 bracket
