Default Does anyone know where I can find these clips? Part number?

So I'm looking for a specific part, I don't know if they make an after market one for the XJ or not, I have a 1999 Cherokee Sport 4.0. I'm looking for that small plastic piece that the spark plug wires fit onto. I would appreciate it if anyone can point me in the right direction, or even has a part number for them or even a name LOL. The photo I have attached here is just an example of what I'm talking about. Thanks.

(EDIT, I know the arrow is poorly placed, I meant the spark plug wire clips not the hose clips)

Are you talking about this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/402957516683

If so the part number is 55035933AB
Referred to as "BRACKET, Hose" in my '97 to '99 parts catalog.
Not that having the part number does you any good cause best I can tell is that they are not available anymore.
Not seeing any aftermarket support either.
Should be an easy boneyard find though.
Any '97 to '01 XJ. Betting even older ones too.
Wouldn't surprise me if any ZJ or WJ, the 2 body styles of the Grand Cherokee, with a 4.0 would not have one too.

Sorry, I should've made it more clear, I'm looking for the Spark Plug wire holders not the heater core hose ones.

No don't even worry about. I should pay more attention to what I am reading. LOL.
Well the good news is I think I found what you are talking about.
Better yet appears it might be available. Not exactly cheap though.
Thinking the part number is 33007154.
And that this is it.

The best part is there is a real picture at that link so....
If I got this wrong again I apologize. MLOL.

That's the right number Ralph77 posted. Called "Separator, Ignition Cable" in my parts guide, yet called Retainer in the link above.

Funny, the photos look nothing like the sketch. There's a few on ebay as well.

Does anyone know where this bolts into? Does it lay on studs and have a nut on the top of it, or does it go in the same spot as the heater core hoses and lay under it? That does look like the part, thanks!

Well not that this really helps but there aren't any nuts or bolts listed in the parts catalog where I found that.

My guess would be the valve cover. I do see "studs" listed in the parts guide.

https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/part...tra2=&filter=()

Calls for 10. I'm guessing 3 go on the intake side to hold the harness standoffs like on my Renix?

What's under those nuts now?

I found it, they're 7/16ths nuts and they go on 2 of the valve cover studs. For anyone for future reference is looking for this specific part, the part number is 33007154 RETAINER-Ignition Cable

Here's a video showing where it's installed, along with the size of nut that fits over the studs.

Thank you Ralph77 and Saudade!

Actually thank you. Cause you gave me an idea I might try.
See I wasn't familiar with the set up cause I have an '00 that has the coil bar and no distributor.
But just recently I did the Viper coil mod.
Now I just bought some of those little plastic spark plug wire guides. You know the ones I mean. LOL.
Anyway cause of you I might get one of these and see if I can route my wires even better.
I am OK with how they route now but what if I can make them route better? MLOL.

Definitely! Hopefully it works out with that setup, I know the separators you're talking about LOL I bought the same exact type you have set up there in the photo, I realized it wasn't going to help the wires stay in one centralized location/routing to keep from touching anything and arcing off of the AC lines. Upgrading my wires, cap, rotor, and Cam sensor tomorrow! Just have to wait for that new piece to come in for the mean time!

You can make your own from zipties.

Not only is that a great idea but that looks really "clean" too.

I've also done this with zip-ties with the eyelet for a screw at the end, so you can secure them.
