C1 (1960) under dash wiring clips

[Donald H.]

The AIM shows under dash wiring J clips that are held by the windshield T bolts and nuts. There are 8 of the T bolts, how many should have J clips to hold the dash wiring harness up? I can't tell by the picture in the AIM

Thanks,

IMG_6847.JPG I know there are sometimes revisions earlier and later, but I like to use the 1960 AIM because of the clarity of the printing and the fold out pages are easy to read on page L148 is a great shot of 6 of those J clips, plus the 2 smaller ones that go on the pillar reif.

Don,

I just rewired a '59 with new harnesses and installed 6 new J-clips under the dash as shown.

It was impossible to attach the harness to all of those clips as shown in the AIM. In the AIM page above, the far right #1 clip behind the cluster is tucked way up under and behind the reinforcement bar. I don't see how the stiff harness can go up inside there then loop down under the reinforcement then head into the cluster rear area. It's really impossible. It would not go into the #10 clip along the side either. The harness is too short in that area. I ran the rear body harness through that one.
