Radiator Hose bottom attachments

Does anyone have a part number for the plastic pieces on the radiator hose that connect up to the bottom and help support the radiator hose at the bottom of travel?

Thanks. Yes, I put a stainless steel tie wrap on this awhile back which is more reliable then this plastic thing. It looks like mine on one side where the steel tie wrap is on just maybe disconnected but it could be broken.

Use a fat zip tie, or hose clamp as that stock clip breaks all the time

I like how much surface area there is with those clips as opposed to zip ties. There is also a black mesh that goes between these clips and the rubber hose.

What black mesh is that? I don't see that on mine. clamps have a cheap connector that attaches to the frame. That is the weak point in the design. Anyway, I can't really do anything in regard to this right now as there is no distilled water out there. None! Zilch. It has all been hoarded for the Apocalypse.

It is insane here. 125 people in line at 7:am. Toilet paper, napkins, kleenex, water of any kind gone. It would make more sense if Covid was the worm they put down your nose in Star Trek that eats at your brain until you go insane. Otherwise, I have no idea what water and toilet paper does for a virus. Water comes out of the faucet here for drinking so...
