Source for battery clip on inner fender well

For a 1970 442, I am looking for a replacement plastic battery cable clip that mounts on the drivers inner fender well. Anyone know where I can get one? See picture below.

The clip shown in the first pic (by the OP) is not the correct style clip for a '70 car IMO. Are you looking for the correct clip???.....or just something that will function?

Correct clips are available from the repro vendors. I have some nice originals as well. The originals are metal clips, partially dipped/coated w/a black rubber/vinyl coating and the metal part is a olive drab green color. The clip shown in the first pic is a black plastic clip.

I believe the motor, etc shown in that pic is a '72.....that year had some different features.

Good eye, Patton.

Even the firewall appears to be from a later car than 1970, judging by the position of the horn relay.

Yeppers. I believe 1972 was the first year the horn relay/distribution/junction block was mounted to the firewall. My 1971 (A-Body = CS) has the horn relay mounted to the fender (same as 1970 in the image I posted).

Horn relay/distribution/junction block mounted to firewall on 1972.

Of note, is the difference in the style of that "clip" which changed between the years.

Norm, the 1972 PIM picture you posted shows a battery cable clip similar to the one in the OP's picture.

It's looking more like the OP's car is a 1972.

Locate a parts store or auto body shop that handles Dorman or Auveco products.

Gary - Greetings. Fully agree. OP asked about a 1970 442. I provided the correct clip of a 1970. Leave it to the OP to decide I figure.

Thanks guys, I learned a little more today! BTW the original picture was a 72 and used an example to show the clip I was talking about.
