Thank you for creating a list of parts I never knew I needed
/this is going to get expensive.

Good job.
Most cars by now are missing those parts from prior repairs, so an explaination would be helpful of where on the car they should be found.
I'd like to see a similar chart for the electrical connectors/terminals.

I know I need at least a dozen of each of those C-clamp harness holders for inventory.
A big part of keeping a car original is stupid stuff like this, using the correct replacement when an old part gives up, or is damaged during a repair procedure. I'm as guilty as anyone when I just reach into the big bin of cable ties and pull one out that's "close enough" or "will get the job done". Having the right parts, not having to substitute, makes the work a lot more fun.
Any of our vendors care to put together a standard "care package"" of all of these clamps and ties? Some could be project-specific, like the ones needed for intake refresh (fuel rail cable clips and wraps for the FI harnesses and the knock sensor cables), stuff like that. I know that Mark A. has a background in the electronics biz, and Roger seems to be able to find sources for for stuff I couldn't even think of.

I need to find out the locations of each of those so I can put them on the low-mile 86.5 I am cleaning up.

I have a pretty good list of all the Norma clamps used in S4+ cars, but need to take pics. I do have a bunch more pics of the other zip ties, just need the time to organize.
