Radiator to expansion tank hose strap

[Tom L.]

Does anyone know if this (https://www.dropbox.com/s/gnknwj2729...2017.44.37.jpg) strap that attaches the hose from the radiator to the expansion tank on a '72 LS5 w/ A/C is availible anywhere? Can't seem to locate it, thanks!!

I noticed that CC sells them in sets of 4 or more. Is there anywhere else they are used? My original straps are long gone so I have no reference other than a page by page search of the AIM.

Hi,
I believe this retainer, 3825551, (the one in your picture), is different than the more common plastic ties used other places in the engine compartment.
On my 71 it's only used in that single place.
The vendors DO list and sell these retainers individually.
CC number is 172011, + the 2 vendors I listed above indicate they have them, and sell them individually.
Regards,
Alan
