WTB: Air filter housing clips

[rapandi]

This is going to be a tough one to source I think but just trying my luck:

 

You know those clips that hold the ends of the air filter to the main housing.... I am after those if anyone has. I am missing one.

 

The yellow plated ones in the below pic are what I am referring to.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks

We don't know why, but ti and tii airbox clips were painted black at the factory.  It appears the black paint was quickly applied over cadmium or zinc plating, with little or no prep.  The paint started chipping and peeling the day the cars left the factory.  Important?  Probably not, but don't turn down any clips, Raj, just because they're painted black, and looking shabby!

 

The airbox clips on downdraft carb cars, on the other hand, appear to have generally been plated, and NOT painted.  Do you know why?  Me neither.

 

Regards,

But like you say, to me colour of the clip is no problem. People of the world I am open to any coloured clip!
