Bill,
It is a shy little rubber strap about 4 inches long. It went
strapped that wire wrapped lead from engine to temp gauge in the dash
to the heater hose. I think they were discarded rapidly when engines
were serviced or repaired. A long time ago I sent it to Roger Moment
who had duplicates made as he said it was a really rare bird. What
is amazing is that it has a patent !!!!!
