Fish,
I might have a few of them laying around. Probably not enough to go around though. I think you can still get them at NAPA (check their paint and body store down across from the main store/warehouse down on 2nd st) or other paint and body supply stores. Do you have one to match it up with or are you missing all of them?

When I reinstalled the trim on my hood I went to NAPA and bought the twisted T threaded type of fastener.
I didn't like the original spring type because they would wreck the paint as you're installing them. The spring type clips were used because they were cheaper and quicker to install on the line.

Did someone say E-bay?
Here's the link on e-bay for the clips. They will work on spears from 48-52.
