UPPER Radiator hose strap

[Steve84]

Anyone know where to get a replacement upper radiator hose strap? This is a plastic strap with a locking tab that goes on the V6 shroud and wraps around the hose. Mine has a crack on the end and it keeps opening up. Pain in the ars. I have the 3.8L V6 '84 Regal

no good, it won't look right. Wish I could glue the crack together

similar but mine is more of a flexible strap type plastic and not rigid.

This isn't the same strap?

If this doesn't have to be exactly like the factory one you could make one out of plastic and drill a hole on each end and use a plastic push pin to mount it.

A little basic ingenuity goes a long way. It doesn't require having to reinvent the wheel, so to speak.

Yes that looks like it. Nice car and engine by the way. Do you have extra breather material around your breathers for a reason?
