Amp Connector Clip Search

[pforbes]

This may take a few of you wayyy back but here goes. Back before those little Velcro straps were created to secure 50 pin Amp connectors (Quantar, 66 Blocks, etc), there were little U-shaped clips used to keep them in place. The Amp connectors were originally designed to mate with a similar connector where each had one screw and the two of them secured the connectors together. When used on a chassis connector the second screw wasn't there. Therefore a clip was developed.
I'm in need of 10 of those clips. I'm looking for the long ones as there was a shorter version for the smaller connector that looks sorta like it.

Anyone have those things?

Holy Cow! That's it all right. And see what Google helped me find: 4284995M01 (part of TKN8171A/8172A- NLA) $2.59 each. Available, to boot! Those I can get with a few clicks. DigiKey needs PO's that I can't get.Nuts! Tried two different ways of posting a pix.
