So the white u-shaped clips here... what are they called?

18 years old in a hot engine bay, they're kinda brittle and... well... you can guess.

Spent about 30 minutes at the parts store with the guy tonight trying to figure out the name - we struck out.



I assume when I get a name or a part number, I'll probably be able to buy a packet of them somewhere?

If I can't find 'em, we'll end up wrapping s*** in elec tape, or fashioning something out of bailing wire. Kinda janky, but hey, if you gotta improvise, even poison ivy leaves sometimes end up as toilet paper.

That clip doesn’t come off to get the line off. I believe you just push it one way or the other to get the line to release. I have read some threads where a bit of paper clip wire can be used to retain it. Or a trip to a salvage yard looking for one.
