I'm having a devil of at time on my 67 Metuchen with installing the eopop plastic wire retainers. on fire wall and shock towers. I get them into holes ok. but its getting loop to connect to plastic stud end of thing. I've tried "stretching" holes w phillips screwdriver. This plastic is pretty stiff.
I haven't tried the hot water soak yet. I don't want to melt them.Suggestions, please.
TY,
Gimpy

First: what is the part number of the "retainer" you are using?
2nd: Where did you buy it?
3rd: Do you know who the vendor is?
The "book" says it's the same as the ones used in 64-66. I've had no problem with them.

i've used a 5/16 socket on a nutdriver to force them into place. if they break then they are cheep parts.

I do the same as Fred, except I use an 11/32" nut driver, it won't mar the spline of the clip... this is for the loop style.
