I would say the one he wants is top left in that picture.
I MAY have a singe bracket if you can't find it any where else.

Yes I need the one piece that is the guide for the temp wire, driver front retainer. You have two pieces I don't recognize, the longer retainers. And it looks like you have an extra angle retainer and only one simple retainer. I've been trying to see some pictures to get some answers on this question, but what I thought I have pieced together from pictures is this configuration:
passenger side: two simple retainers
driver side: front has a retainer with the guide for the temp wire, rear has an angle retainer to hold the front wires.
I guess it would make sense that the passenger rear would have an angle retainer too, but I haven't seen anything that shows that and I couldn't find it in the AIM.

I think I need this one, hard to tell from the picture it looks a bit rough. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2017/02/full-19646-58101-retainer.jpg

The part is not "rough", I will wipe the grease off of it and take a better pic and you will be able to see that it is a good part. And , if factory orange paint and some lifting of the rubber dip make this "rough", perhaps you should rephrase your request that you want flawless perfection and not used ? I believe it will be ok once cleaned and re-photoed which I will do.

I have to assume that's sarcasm because nobody, not even camaro junkies like us, can be that sensitive about a used part. Sorry Bentley, the guide end looks rusted off but maybe its just the angle of the picture.

Evaporust will make that part look real good. I got a center rear bumper bracket from bb with some surface rust. Soaked it for a day or so in Evaporust and a couple passes with a brass wire brush....... we are golden!

That is a good part. You are smokin' dope. It will need to be cleaned painted and redipped but the metal is solid. Hell I can see that from the pic.

Truth be known, it is not perfect, never claimed it was. but useable with a little paint (I would leave the rubber as is) IMO, yes. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/pics/usergals/2017/02/full-13059-58187-wire_loom_3.jpg

This is a tough crowd around here, say something looks a bit rough in a picture and holy smokes. And I hadn't even said no. I can certainly have an opinion about what I want to buy.
Bentley - that looks great. PM me a price. And I didn't need it to be rust free, I honestly thought the loom end was rusted off in the first picture (I can see now it was just some orange paint).

Hey, Andy Biddle, thought you wanted this? I sent you all the info to Paypal the $5 shipping, which is all I asked. Did you change your mind?
