I know this is insignificant and rather trite... but my daughter wants everything to be / look stock. Can anyone tell me if these red tube mounting brackets are stock? These hold up the heater core pipe that runs along the passenger lower frame-rail in the engine compartment of an Iron Duke / 4 cyl Fiero. One mounts it to rear firewall, and the other mounts it to the back firewall. One side connects to the heater core tube that runs along the underside (center) of the car, and the other side of the tube connects to the tube that comes off the intake manifold.
They are red, and my daughter doesn't want to replace them with the black ones I have if they were stock. I can't tell... I don't think I ever noticed...

I don't remember ever seeing red, but it would be odd for someone to have replaced them.
She sounds kinda picky. I wonder where she gets it.
EDIT, What year?[This message has been edited by buddycraigg (edited 08-15-2024).]

Ummm let me look at my parts crap box tomorrow, Those do not look wrong to me off hand. So hard to find a pic online because that picture angle is hardly ever taken. [This message has been edited by jelly2m8 (edited 08-16-2024).]

Yeah, I had some red C-clips exactly like yours on my Fiero. Seemed to be original. They work, so I still use them.------------------ "Turbo Slug" - '87 Fiero GT. 3800 turbo. - The fastest Fiero in France! @turboslugfiero https://youtu.be/hUzOAeyWLfM

I have only ever seen black on the cars I have messed with but that's not saying they didn't come with red.

The clamps pictured are called "Adel - w/High Temp silicone cushion" used in a aviation & performance motor sports. I don't know if they were used by Pontiac. But thought if you did want to replace them you have a name.

Yes, they are OEM.
