Coil spring retainer clamps

I read an older article here about coil spring removal that included a warning about the retainer clips at the top of the springs being easy to break. Well, sure enough, I broke one of mine. Since they seem a bit fragile, I am inclined to replace both of these while I am at it. I didn't see any for sale at Dennis Carpenter's (maybe I didn't know exactly what to search for), but I did see some at NPD that only had a threaded nut on one hole, and not the other. How does that work? Thanks for the help!!

If all else fails, the ones off of a Dentside will work.

One or, possibly both straps were broken on my '69 F100 when I swapped from front drums to a '77 F100 disc brake front suspension.

I used both the straps from the '77 F100 donor on my '69. The (2) bolts per strap are even the same diameter and thread pitch as the Bumpside bolts.
