retaining clamps for AC hardline

[darth_linux]

Does anyone know what the clamps are called that hold the AC line to the inner fenderwell (going from drier/receiver back to the firewall)? They are like a half circle, plasti-dip insulation, held in place with a sheet metal screw. I need 3 of them, but don't know what to call them or if anyone makes them. I saw something similar at ACE Hardware, so I'll use those if I have to. Mine are rusted out and the insulation is all but gone.

TIA

Perhaps one of the Mopar Restoration parts sources, for B- and E-bodies?

I briefly searched vans and DMT and came up empty.

I'm thinking the older-line repro vendors than Vans and DMT. They might not be around any more, but others should have come to replace them, I suspect. Maybe Mancini?

Found some at ACE. “Half-clamp vinyl.” $2.59 each. Only thing incorrect is the hole for the screw is a little bit too big. You can see the original in the upper left corner.

In my parts book it's described as a Clip, and has a star beside it indicating not serviced.

I guess it’s the hardware store then!

Agreed! Just use a washer to cover the hole.

The reproduction clips listed at the following, aimed at B-bodies, might be of use:
