Speedometer Cable tie down at firewall

[Corey Bowcutt]

As I reassembly the underside of my car I am wondering what cable tie/fastener is used to clamp the speedometer cable to the firewall on the passenger side on the section of the firewall that is at about a 45 degree angle between the floor and the vertical firewall.  There is a hole that I assume should be used for a cable tie down.  What was there to me looked very incorrect.  Is there supposed to be a cable tie in this location and if so what kind?

Thank you, Corey

Others will know if this is transferable to a '68, but here is what is on a '67...I can delete if not appropriate for '68's.

I thank you both, this is very helpful.  I looked at the Virginia Mustang clip and it says it is for 65-66 Mustangs.  Does anyone know if it was in fact used for the 68 as well?

The one JD posted is used on 68's only on auto trans. The one Charles posted is 65/66. 68 4 spd uses all metal wo/ rubber coating. AMK makes one under B-10277, not exact but very close. I can send you one Corey. Also don't forget cable runs through spring clip under distribution valve and standoff under accelerator pedal grommet

Thanks Tim, that's actually the style I have on my '68... should have checked it first.

A similar one like I linked to is used over by the distribution block.

The assembly line types auto  and 4 speed are both being made now by eddie r.  as i gave him both to make last oct when he was at our concours fall classic show.  This is a much needed part to keep cable from hitting and getting melted on the h-pipe especially on big block cars.  The type we are making is what shows up on late 60s era mustangs cougars etc   The rh 4 speed type cable holder often gets broken when removed and the repo they sell is too big and rubbercoated.  The assembly line type was designed to lock into the metal collar crimped onto the assembly line cable of which the repo cables dont have. I gave eddie r an original cable with the metal collar to make also to sell with the holder clips.  You may have to crimp this collar on your repo cable with a crimping tool.

Yep. Looks like that with the small radius removed
