1970 Dearborn  Boss 302, May 70 build

Were Panduit style ties (like the one used on the trunk pinch weld) used to secure the front side marker lights?

If so, where were they typically located and attached?

Thanks,
Tony

Can't find any evidence of them being used like they were at Dearborn in 69. Its possible that the round wire retainer was added to the front splash shield so they could be eliminated in the process







In 69 they strapped the wire loom with the tie to the bumper bracket (round tube)

Jeff. That is perfect.

I have the those holes in the splash shields for the clips,  and just installed the same clips as in your pics.

Thanks,

Tony
