Broke wireloom tabs on top of valve cover

[Boston5761]

Need to know a part #/Name for these if possible.

Borrowed a picture just to show the needed parts. Will delete tonight.

(see attachment)

The bottom piece of the tabs are broken off in the valve cover holes. Will have to tap these out.

The two tabs hold the wire loom that runs on top of the valve cover on the timing belt side.

anyone?

Why do you even need these? I'm sure the wire harness will stay in place as is.

mine broke off when I took my valve cover off. It still stays in place though and it has been several months since it happened. Im pretty sure you will be fine. If you really want them replaced, I guess you can try your local auto parts store for some identical clamps.

hmm i would just stop into a mazda dealer, i needed some screws for the licence plate on the back, he just gave them to me!

They have those little clips at auto parts stores. Mine broke the other day, plastic doesn't hold up well after years of being on top of an engine. The wire loom stays in place on my car though, so I just left it.

not so much concerned about not having these, as I am the fact that they are broken off in the valve cover mounting holes.

Unless the wires touch metal they should be fine. You could just use a black zip tie too.
