Looking for the clips/brackets that hold the wiring harness in place next to the valve cover. They snap on top of the bolts of the valve cover. I broke my last one and now my harness is floating and bouncing around. I was wondering if anyone knows the official name or part number or if they are still made or around. Im trying to avoid junkyard ones that are probably 5 seconds from crumbling into oblivion. Is there generic ones I missed that could work? Or a way to make a solid bracket to hold the harness?

P/N J324 2912-clip. My google-fu is not bringing up any for purchase.
I might have some used ones sitting around...

Thanks I tried searching and just found the part number in the catalog but nothing for sale so ill hit up the dealer or napa and see if that part number brings anything up for them. Otherwise I might be interested in yours if you don't need them anymore.

If you're not averse to junkyards, I see those all the time for little or no money, they're pocket items.
I might have to check other ones some time. The one junkyard by my house is 3 bucks to enter and most of the time the xj engine bays are super picked through with basic things like fan shroud and engine wiring destroyed from people pulling valve covers or heads and not caring about the other parts. So to put down 3 bucks for the chance of getting dry rotted ones at a couple bucks, i was hoping i could find a part number for new ones around the same price. Whenever i pull other stuff off to get to my desired part at the junk yard i always leave the parts in decent shape either in the air box or the seat if the door opens so someone can use the parts if they wanted them.

I looked on ebay, googled, and tried the site that Cruiser54 sent me with clips and fittings for all (almost all) makes and models of vehicles...came up dry. That's why I mentioned the JY. All the good ones I have are junkyard salvages. But you're right, a lot of them are dried out and weak or broken from heat, exposure etc. (oh, and inconsiderate engine strippers)

Wrap the wires in an engine loom, find an L bracket you can bolt down on the head bolt and attach the loom to the L bracket.

The heat coming off the head is nominal compared to the heat coming off the exhaust.
Use a threaded coupler as a standoff, then a wire clamp.
Thread coupler onto stud, then screw the wire clamp into the other end.
I was actually planning on going to ace tomorrow to get this exact setup. Thanks for the help and suggestions guys.
Please post a pic or two once you're finished
