Help finding grounding clips

Grounding clip, part #990 here...

I've checked with the biggies (Moss, Vic British and TRF) with no luck. British Wiring can get them, but they're backordered for 2-4 weeks at least. Any other sources out there?

If all else fails, I have a temporary fix. Get some bullet connectors and some "snap connectors", and some ring terminals. Quantity as required by your application. Make up a little "ground harness" with a ring terminal on one end, and a bullet on the other. Use the screw from the grounding clip to attach the ring terminal. Use snap connectors to connect your existing harness to the new ground harness. It works perfectly, and nothing has to be modified. It costs a couple of bucks per ground point, but it is completely reversible when the right parts come in.

If you are bit crafty you can make your own... that's what I did back in the day when these were 'NLA'.

I used the metal from an old turnsignal/taillight bulb -- one with a nickel-plated brass base. Cut it open, flatten it out, drill the mounting hole, trim to size, round the corners a bit and shape the 2 tubes. Helps if you have an original one to look at & measure.

One of the ones pictured is original, the other is homemade:

Guess I need to learn to be a little more creative. Thanks for the advice!

Hey George,

Tinster ain't a wrench question.

Is that blue wire with the long white stripe a headlamp
wire? If it is, what are the four black ground wires,
grounding? And where are the 2 grounding plates located?

thanks, just curious

Grounding clips are mounted at the front of the inner fenders. The headlights and parking lights are grounded there.

You may want to give these guys a call, they show what I think is this clip in their catalog, pretty cheap too:

Rovers North

Part no. RNB503, $1.45...

If it works, thank Teri Ann Wakeman, as she provided this supplier tip a while ago on a brake related item..
