Heater hose strap

[340wedge]

Was this metal strap ever used from the factory to hold the heater hoses on Mopar A bodies? Specifically 1971 Duster 340. The ads say yes, but I haven't really seen them on any resto cars.

I believe those metal bands are for a/c equipped cars

My 66 273 Dart had one on. There was no bracket on the valve cover or fender well though. That may be the difference.

My 67 dart 273 has them (my dad bought the car new)
