I know it hurts, but you could drill some holes in the firewall and put these in. They would look clean and updated. Just seal the hole so it doesnt rust.

I was just going through the same thing. I went to ace and got some black plastic body panel fasteners, as well as some clips. I am going to use the fasteners to hold the clips in the original holes, while using zip ties in the clips to hold the wires.

I did the same thing on purpose. Go get the aviation style clamps metal with a rubber insert aka pipe clamp in the size you need approx 7/8" or so. I drilled and tapped the frame rail as it was thicker and better for holding threads. I then used stainless button head allen fastenters to attach the clamps. An alternitive meathod if you don't have a tap is to drill thru the apron and use a bolt and nut to hold the clamp. Either will look good and not very expensive.

 

Type of clamps needed

 

type of fastners used

 

Both should be availible locally at your fastner store for less than $20.00

 

Hope this helps and best of all it will look alot better

I tried finding them right now, but harbor freight sells these cool zip ties. They have a base that has strong double sided tape on it. You stick it to a surface, then run the wires through the zip tie and close it. Il take a pic of them tonight and try to find them on their website.

Just my opinion, but those sticky zip ties come loose. I like the zip ties with a hole to run a screw through them - Home Depot calls them "Mounting Ties" or mounting zip ties or something. Cheap and very effective.
