Hello all, I have installed the backup light plug and harness to the manual transmission and I have connected the male and female 2 wire connectors together. But they just dangle. There must be a bracket or holder that holds the wiring connectors under the car. Can someone let me know what the bracket looks like, where it is located and how it is attached - probably to the chassis?  A photo if anyone has it would be great. Many thanks in advance.

With a little digging I found this photo. The wiring I am looking at is in the upper right hand corner and it appears that there is a bracket that holds the two connectors. The bracket seems to look like it has three "fingers" that hold the wiring and connectors. I can't find any bracket that looks similar to this in any of the regular resources. At least now I know where its fastened to the chassis, just need to ID the part. Again, thanks in advance.

Finally figured it out, photo 1638 is the bracket and 1641 shows the bracket with the electrical connectors. I have the bracket I need (found it among other parts) but never did find a part number for it.

Hope it helps someone else out.
