Looking for the small clamps that hold heater control cables in place.

Anyone have a source for those little rectangular clips that go on the heater box and the bolts/sheetmetal screws that hold the control cables in place? I need two of them.

Do you have an old carburetor hanging around? They are pretty close to the throttle and choke hold down tabs.

Or you could just make some out of a small piece of metal and pound it over a screwdriver of the same size.

Thanks, since I read that I have had the song by Styx "Mr. Roboto" in my head for much of the day!
