86 Fan conduit Fastener ?
I'm looking for the plastic fastener that holds the main fan conduit/wires in place and attaches to the fan shroud. Anyone know who sells these little fasteners that are so hard to find?

auto parts stores have something in the bagged goods section. aka the "help" parts.
dealership parts room might help.
I buy a similar clamp at home depot in the electrical dept. They have some that are close, but not exact. Its a folding clamp for soft conduit with a tab that has a hole for a mounting screw. Plastic interior mounting tabs work for that if you do not want a metal screw.

Delphi probably has something in excess off a couple hundred different! Mouser is the best source. There will be prints with diensions in most of these. Some but not all are available from GM SPO. SPO pricing is substantially higher:

One of the reasons those clips are so special is that they have a ridge on the inside diameter that is supposed to clamp in a groove on the conduit, which holds it closed and keeps it from slipping.
I have purchased from clipsandfasteners.com Those guys have an amazing array of obscure and hard-to-find little parts.
