Where do I find these? 12111 and 12297. Or is there a new equivalent that looks vintage?

As a point of interest, I think those are for early 8BA's; the later ones (which I prefer), have 4 individual holes and come rubber coated from the factory. I prefer the later ones, as they have the wires better separated than the ones shown. I pick them up wherever I can (swap meets, etc.) but the rubber coating is usually in bad shape. I take it all off, blast 'em, paint 'em, and then dip the business ends in that stuff you use to dip tool handles in. It takes some practice but they can come out looking real nice.

Here are the two types of wire looms. I found this picture that Pete had posted on an earlier thread. Late on the left, early on the right. (Scott, if you own a '52, I think you want the "4-holers".)

I like those later brackets. Where do you get them? One nice thing is my garage stays between 65-70 year round. It’s currently 100 outside so a be in the garage project is perfect right now

If there are any swap meets near you, that would be a source. If that doesn't pan out, I'd try "Shoebox Central" (they have some used parts) and "Southside Obsolete". Keep an eye on eBay as well.
 
Got it. I was at a swap meet at the V8 museum in Auburn Indiana a couple months ago but did know I needed them then.
 
I'd sent you a private message a couple of days ago stating I had these.
