Default Trunk light help needed

My '66 has a trunk light but it looks like I'm missing a clip that holds the wire to the trunk hinge. Does anyone have a photo of what it should look like? Does anyone have one available?

Thx!

Sorry about bringing this old thread back up but I need a couple of these clips.
I have searched Ames catalog but so far no luck seeing anything.

Does anyone know if they are being reproduced or are available at some other company?

AMES has a few Retaining Clips shown in the Electrical section of their cat,
but nothing exactly as shown. That looks almost like the WW hose clip.


OPG has this one that looks close;

Thanks Jeff!
That's the one😊.
I have looked all over and couldn't find anything. I appreciate you locating this little clip.

Thanks Jimmy. That looks like a good inexpensive substitute. I need a couple where you won't see them so something like these would work fine.
