Default Rear heater lines bracket

Hi

I have a 2001 Express extended length van. The rear heater and ac lines that go under the rear passenger wheel well area are supposed to be attached to the underside of the body or frame I don't remember which, with some kind of bracket that can hold two pipes, one on each side, and it has a little cushion in it and bolts on to the frame or body. Mine are rusted out and the lines are just shaking around, so I wanted to replace them, but could not find ANYTHING online no matter how hard and where I looked. I could just cable tie them to something, but would prefer to use the factory approach if possible. Anyone have a part number on these or a way to source them? Thanks!

So where did you look? Did you check the oem part dealers?
https://www.gmpartscenter.net/
https://www.gmpartsdirect.com/
https://www.gmpartsgiant.com/
https://parts-catalog.acdelco.com/ca...log_search.php
https://www.rockauto.com/
etc...

OEM parts will probably cost and arm and a leg though. Personally I would just use plumber strap, or just bend a piece of flat bar stock into a 'W' shape and bolt it in.

Or just use standard plumbing fixtures from your home improvement store.

Hi yes I checked those sites or similar and many more. Not sure if a part number even exists for it. I purchase auto parts just about daily, usually online and have a lot of experience locating and cross referencing parts. But yes the plumbing idea is not bad although it doesn't have the cushion portion. Thanks for that

it's possible the bracket is sold as part of the entire A/C line assembly.

Padding can be easily made out of rubber inner tube, foam etc...
