Hey ECS Tuning, what does Mini BMW call these?

 

Officially?
"Cable Strap with Bracket"

Thanks Nik.

I need to get some generic versions. Most of mine are broken in the car now or dont stay in the hole.

 

Amazon might have what you’re looking for. Search for push mount cable or zip tie

 

ya I did. They only seem to come in packs of one size.

Hopefully those will work for the Mini. Too long isn't an issue. It's the hole size for the push mount.

I have wires hanging here and there which Id like to clean up.

 

Sorry they beat me to it.

Some you can slide a new universal zip tie in, thats what i just did on my R52 main harness. Some are bonded to the clip itself.

Which part are you looking for in the engine bay, i might be able to find one.

 

Yeah, that's what I was going to suggest. Even the bonded ones you can usually cut the old zip tie flush, then feed a new one through the lock.

 

The ziptie isn't the issue in some cases, rather the push mount is broken or worn and doesn't stay inside the hole.

 

Ok, do you have the picture in the engine where its at?


Mike

 

Nope but its near the auxiliary water pump for the turbo. Etc etc. That's why Id rather buy generic ones than spend $10 on 4 from Mini.

 

Just measure the hole diameter, then, and you should be able to find plenty on Amazon that will work.

 

ha...if I can get a micrometer to the hole..I just ordered some generics.

 

Or just a small ruler. Or a bolt or something, see what fits. You don't need an exact measurement, it's almost certainly 8mm or 10mm or some standard metric measurement like that.
