Headlight harness clips

Keep reading. There's an issue to deal with. Not sure how "accurate" you want them to be.
Splash guard pins are GM 411700. Discontinued from GM.
But Auveco has them listed under their number as 11721.

Here's the problem with the 411700 part AND the Auveco part...
When you look at the "new" 411700 GM parts, they no longer look like the original retainers. Sure, they're SUPPOSED to work, but will they? They're flat topped and probably would look stupid. I got a slew of them somewhere in my stash, but not sure what I did with them. Anyway...
Auveco dimensions claim this:
Below is a genuine GM FACTORY part I pulled off my 85 442. It's 0.70" wide head, the stem just a HAIR longer than 5/8" and approx 11/16" in length. Sorry, didn't focus it very well.
HOWEVER, there's a chance to make it look more like original. According to the sizing, AMK sells the MORE CORRECT push pin you seek with the rounded head that's 0.70" wide with rounded top like original and has approx. 5/8" stem. P/N B-15476
Get a big box of at least 25. There's 10 for the splash shields, 6 for the radiator seals behind the grilles, and 2 for the front parking lamp splash shields.

On the headlight split loom, I BELIEVE it's 1/2" in diameter IIRC. I am not 100% sure since you gave no size.
If it is, in case you need one, the end outlet nearest the headlamp is GM p/n 8911377. Discontinued from GM. This simply holds the end of it together. If it's factory, you'll see it. It's fairly near, but not necessarily at, the end of the loom next to the headlamp. Looks like this.
The loom clip that pins it to a mounting hole, again assuming it's 1/2", is as follows:
GM p/n 8905794. Still available from GM at a list price of $7.02 each. They do have aftermarkets of this. Just search for the GM p/n.
WHEW!!!!!

Ok thanks 1/2" diameter for the headlight clips. I see the difference on tabs. Working on a 85 442. I'll have to look and see what I want to do
