Default HELP! Finding 8.5mm Wire Loom, OEM Style

One of my valve cover mounted wire looms broke. It looks like the original style that came on Mustangs and Falcons, but those were for 6-7mm wire and not modern 8.5mm wire. The separator/loom slot slides onto valve cover.

I bought the OEM version, heated it gently with a heat gun, and then slowly pushed the wire into the slot. The wires just do not fit well...they kind of just sit on top of the slot.

The one that broke is actually for 8-8.5mm wire and the wires "pop" into the slot when pushed. Any idea where I can find these? I appreciate your help.

Here is a picture...broken 8.5mm on the left and OEM replacement from ebay on the right:
