hood prop rod clip

[cbudvet]

Does anyone know were I could get the metal clip that holds the hood prop rod in place. Its the piece that the rod clips into to hold it in place when folded flat. My car is in the body shop and I need to find one or a good replacement. I dont know if anyone has a parts car or know of any lying around. On a side note, my car has been in the shop since last september and its killing me to read about everyone getting their cars driving this spring!

@maximus35 - Next time you get to hunt for the customers. You can't expect me to drag them to you. 😉

For the top part take a little clamp from a firm that does in tools and tool racks  (to store the screwdrivers on a rack!) and the lower part bend a piece of metal and weld or rivet together.  Can someone give some measurements?

I'll bet the metal clamp from the later style inspection lid would work.  I'll do some measurements when my replacement arrives.
