    Does anyone know how these work? It's the clamp that holds the speedo cable to the inner frame-rail. I think it's supposed to snap-in, but I can't get it to stay in, so I obviously don't know how it works.

    The hole you're trying to use is likely too big. Me? I use zip ties !

    Once "closed" that leg/pin gets pushed into a hole. Maybe the hole is too big or the leg/pin is too small. :huh:

    Larry,
    I have been looking for one of those. Do you have a source for new ones?

    I'm scared now! Mine got broken during the disassembly process. Hopefully they are the same as some year Mustang...

    I have never figured out how to successfully remove those without breaking them.
