Mounted Wire Wraps on the Plenum Cover where can I purchase more?
On the base of the Plenum Cover you have two anchor mounted wire wraps that have a stand off of 1.5 inches and you have 4 each side surface mounted wire wraps that support the main electrical harness that runs on the base of the Plenum Cover .
Does anybody know where you can purchase those wire wraps? I cut mine to put on a painted Plenum Cover because I could not remove them, wiggled them like heck and could not pull them out. Would appreciate very much if somebody could direct me, or do I have to go to Chevy Parts department?
Thanks in advance...

The only place that had the Bosch electrical pieces that I needed
was Chief Enterprises- www.chiefent.com
...worth a shot.

zip ties... much of my wiring harness on the race car has been held by zip ties when the OEM clips finally break. Seriously though... if it's covered by the plenum covers what's it matter?

Black 12" zip ties make the world go 'round. While engine bay full of them in every car. Stainless where needed for heat.
Hell, GM uses them as factory equipment in our seats (no joke if you have not seen the thread).

The look like this:
The ones on the end toward the fire wall have an 1.5 inch standoff all the other mound flush on the plenum base.
Do you have a 2014 part list for the Corvette?

I might even have something that will work...if not, industrial strength Velcro will work just fine, assuming there is a clean bearing surface to attach to....I have a big roll of it if he wants some....no one should have to buy the roll like I did ($26) for a small job....
quick look around their website I found this design....2nd from the last entry.

Since I needed these when I did the initial valve cleaning and plan on doing that routinely, I bought a giant pack from Grote:

They list op temp up to 105c, I replaced them 4 months ago and they held up fine. I don't think the plastic plenum cover gets up past boiling point. The ones by the firewall with the standoff are harder to find. I ended up clipping the zip tie ends leaving just the standoff, then slide a black zip tie through a slot in the standoff base to reuse it. If you want, PayPal me a couple bucks for postage and I would be happy to send you 10 to play around with, I ordered a pack of 100 lol.

I reuse them. I cut the piece of tie off of the base, pull out the other piece, and use a new wire tie. Then all is needed is to cut off the new tie when the harness needs to be removed, add a new wire tie and the base stays in place.
