Default Anyone have any of these?

I'm looking for 4 of these, without having to buy new ones. Would prefer to use original Ford ones. I haven't had the time and the weather has not permitted salvage yard scavenging. The 3rd photo shows one location that these are used for. I'm also a cheapskate and don't believe they are worth $4.00 each from D.C.

Thanks for looking, Jim

If you are a true cheapskate like me, just make something that will do the job

Yep, cut a couple out of thick sheet metal, including the tab, put a little tweek in 'em with a sheet metal brake, drill a hole and done! Easy enough.

I have made a couple of "it'll work" pieces and just can't leave it be as it is a small irritation knowing they are not the 'correct' ones. I'm a bit OCD about cars. I like original, unless it is a major improvement over the OEM part. My making one that'll work is not my first choice.
