Tail light wiring question
I just done...well almost done with my project and the only concern I had was the clearance of the wire keeps i used. They are 3/8" diameter (fuel line straps with a 5/16" bolt hole). what Ineed is to have some thing thinner with a 5/6" bolt hole or something that 2 18 guage wires would fit inside and attach with double sided take to the inside of the fender...looking for some ideas from the great minds of the forum.
I've attached some pictures of what I'm currently using to give you an idea.
Any help is mucho appreciated

It fits 3/8" is to wide and I can't find anything in a smaller diameter that will use 5/16 bolt (strut bolts are 5/16"). I'm looking for something narrow maybe using double faced tape...been looking online and have found a few things that may work but the description was very vague.

The baggers use a rubber sleeve that has double sided tape for mounting to the fender inside. If this helps.
Try the depot or lowes, electrical section. They have flat zip tie anchors with double stick tape. They are about 1" x 1". You might need to trim it down, or heat it and mold to shape of the mounting point. But you stick it on, thread a zip tie through it, and strap in whatever wires you've got.
Might be lower profile, or you can put it wherever it is out of the way. Just make sure to clean attachment point well.
