Does anyone happen to have the wire clip that is molded to the wire for sale? I would buy the segment of wire with the retainer/clip if so. As for the grommet: AMK make them.

Do you have an AMK number? I know they make one for the hood lamp wiring and I know they make one for some of the earlier Mustang headlamp wiring but at least in their catalog I've never saw one for the trunk lamp wiring which is about 1 1/8 inch,  if my recollection is correct.

It was made onto the wire. I thought perhaps someone had a wire they could cut off with it on.

Sorry, I did not read your question correctly, THIS RESPONSE ^^^ above was about the grommet, I think I got mixed up with another discussion going on at the same time.

Just to let you know, my early '67 GT 500 had a separate wire that was covered with a braided cover. It it is taped about every 14" to the tail lamp harness. My original was used by Alloy Metal Products to make the trunk lamp wiring, not to mention the right side fastback courtesy lamp harness.                                                                                                        -Keith
My March SJ Shelby has a separate wire, but no covering at all!  Its insulation is thicker than it needs to be so I surmise the thicker insulation is in lieu of the separate cover. And mine was taped every 36" (approx). However, rather than using standard 3/4" friction tape, it uses 1 1/2" friction tape.

I'm getting it ready to be recovered by Rhode Island Wire.
