Default Clips to secure hideaway hoses to rad support

Hi all,

Adding hideaway headlights to my '69. There are clips that hold the electrical harness to the radiator support - these run along the top of the rad support. They are not big enough to hold both the electrical harness and the hideaway hoses.

I had read somewhere that original cars with hideaways had bigger clips large enough to secure both the electrical harness and hideaway hoses. However, I have not found a reproduction version of these clips, assuming they exist.

Any thoughts on how best to secure the hideaway hoses as they run along the rad support?

Thanks!

Don’t quote me because I can’t look at my cars now but by memory the vacuum hoses are separated from the forward harness as they cross the rad support.

I think the two vacuum hoses head down to the actuators at the central support at the center of the core support ... the piece that holds the horns. But yes I think they are all grouped together under the sill of the core support from the left front fender to that center section, not sure what holds them in place.
