So the white u-shaped clips here... what are they called?

18 years old in a hot engine bay, they're kinda brittle and... well... you can guess.

Spent about 30 minutes at the parts store with the guy tonight trying to figure out the name - we struck out.



I assume when I get a name or a part number, I'll probably be able to buy a packet of them somewhere?

If I can't find 'em, we'll end up wrapping s*** in elec tape, or fashioning something out of bailing wire. Kinda janky, but hey, if you gotta improvise, even poison ivy leaves sometimes end up as toilet paper.

Looks similar to a fuel / evap line retainer clip. Got a pic of the broken one?

That clip doesn’t come off to get the line off. I believe you just push it one way or the other to get the line to release. I have read some threads where a bit of paper clip wire can be used to retain it. Or a trip to a salvage yard looking for one.
