Default heater hose "bracket"

OK... another question...

Noticed today that the black "bracket" (for lack of a more descriptive term) that holds the two hoses leaving the front passenger side of the block and traveling rearward along the passenger side front fender is broken. The hoses are away from the block, but are laying on the front crossmember. I'm afraid they will either wear through from vibration or touch something hot and blow. Either way , I need to replace this "bracket" that holds the hoses to the fender.

It looks like just a piece of sheet metal attached to the fender and bent back on itself, attached somehow once the hoses are in place. I guess I can get a pic if that would be helpful.

My question is, what is this part, and any ideas where I can find it? Spent about an hour so far looking at Ecklers and Jegs catalogs online to no avail.

Thanks!

Bill

Pretty easy to install. Just push in the hole and squeeze the two tabs together.
