    1972 Corvette Headlight Wiring Harness Anchors/Supports

    Folks:

    On my '72 Corvette restoration project, I am now working on repairing/restoring the headlight wiring harness. There are 4 evenly placed 3/16 holes on the front crossbar (supports the nose between the headlights and the hood) to which the headlight wiring harness is anchored. The 4 anchors are secured to the wiring harness via electrical tape and over that the harness is wrapped with the nonstick vinyl tape. All of these anchors are broken and I need to replace them. I have yet to find these anchors on any of the online Corvette parts stores. *****Does anyone know where I can find a set of these?

    Also, sections of the engine wiring harness are wrapped with some sort of fiberglass or heat resistant fabric tape. Does anyone know where to find the correct heat resistant tape?

    Thanks so much folks in advance!

    Regards,
    Roger

      Hello Bill:

      Thanks for that info! The top one on that page says it replaces GM #12160857 and is 9mm x 37mm and fits into a 1/4 in hole. I measured the holes in the cross support and they appeared to be 3/16 (0.1875) in. 9mm is 0.35 inches. Do you think these would work in those holes for the headlight wiring harness support?

      Regards,
      Roger

        HI Roger,

        I have found that if you are patient, used harnesses come up on eBay and other sites. If you find a harness from up north the harness connectors and other pieces, like you are in search of, are in very nice shape. You may also find that that the connectors you seek are used across multiple years. If they are used on C3s in the 79-82 vintage those harnesses can be picked up on the cheap from eBay.

        All part of the fun IMHO.

        Bill

          Bill, thanks for that suggestion. I did order the harness clips suggested by Bill Chamberlain. If those don't work, I may see if I can find an old harness and see if there are some useable clips on it.

          Regards,
          Roger
