They are tricky buggers to track down...
I managed to get one from USA. ...a guy was advertising the whole airfilter unit...so I asked if he would just sell the clip...luckily he agreed ...it cost 10 dollars plus about 10 for post.....a very expensive little item but I have learnt they don't turn up to often and when they do you need to go for it....
If that didn't turn up I was going to copy one...
Good luck...

I have a bit of wedge shaped wood that does exactly what the spring does, and cost nothing. You can't see it anyway so why worry?

Every now and again I look. Ordered some spring steel with a view to making. And I need THREE. But there are more important things and a piece of folded tubing has to do.
