Improved Car Commutator wire clip source
I have new commutator wiring coming but I am in need of the clip that fastens to the front of the engine to hold the wire loom. See the arrow in the photo below.
I have not found a part number and the clips sold by the vendors look like they are supposed to hold wires against the firewall. I can make one (are there two?) or go to the hardware store but that would not look right. My car doesn't have the clip(s) and the loom is now frayed. Does anyone have a part number or source?

Mark - my ‘26 had the upper clip attached to the radiator outlet. I made the lower clip attached to the timing cover/generator extension out of sheet metal. Make sure to leave enough slack in harness/clips to allow timer to rotate.

Lang's # 5033 works for the water outlet bolt, can't recall but may have used a step drill to open the hole up for the front plate clip.
