Are any of you guys commercial plumbers or mechanical contractors?

I know this isn't Chevelle related, but I have a project for a good (and fair) plumber to do a restaurant remodel in Minneapolis and I thought maybe someone here would fit the bill.

Looking for the clip or a photo of the clip that holds the starter wiring harness to the block of a 66 Big Block

This is not the clip on the starter that holds the harness to the starter. It is a clip that was installed at the engine assembly plant that mounts on a bolt that hold the bell housing to the back of the block. Thanks.

For those that need some extra tools and like Craftsman tools, I have found that Sears cuts their prices by 50% or more over the holidays. Watch for their adds.
