1958--Where are the brass wire ties located?

[Steven B.]

I am missing the brass wire tie under the dash and needed some help with this small item.

1. Where does it go under the dash?
2. I can't find them in any catalog-where can I get it?
3. Are there any others on the car or just under the dash?

I may have missed it in the AIM, but I can't seem to find it referenced there or in the JG. Maybe my eyes have failed or possibly my brain. I know someone will tell me it's on such and such a page and then I'll feel lame for asking, but I give up!

Thanks in advance, Steve

Corvette Central sells them. I found diagrams with locations in my Assembly Instruction Manual. I have a 1960; so not sure if they are shown in the 1958 AIM or not.

From the JG-Interior--Fuse Block & Wiring, "Above the steering column a single wire tie is used. This wire tie is predominately brass in 1958 with the increased use of a white single post plastic wire tie starting in late 1958 and used exclusively by 1960." Also note that brass wire ties are to be found in the front radiator area for the headlight wiring bundle.

There are two used to hold the wiring above the horns under the header. If you've got windshield washers, there's a few used to bundle the hoses as I recall.
The ones I found from Dr. Rebuild were more "copper" color than brass; I think Corvette Central had the correct ones.

Thanks guys-found them in CC catalog and will order and then install as you've noted. As they say, it's always the little things that get you.

Appreciate the help and quick response, as always!
