dashboard instrument cluster clips

[Crankster]

Hi all, I went over a bump and noticed how loose the instrument cluster was.  There are 4 phillips head screws in place but only one of them was doing anything when i loosened it, the clip fell off. See image below.  They appear to be more of a clamp than panel clip. Are these standard and if so, where do you find replacements ? Looked at JK and nothing like it.           
Any suggestions welcomed as always

thank you for that (I never heard of this supplier before so a good pickup).   Now that I know what they're called, I did a search and found them also listed at JK. https://www.justkampers.com.au/211-957-0...-1979.html.  But on backorder.   Half the time, the battle is knowing what something is called to help with the search

Cheers

I even discovered that there is meant to be a seal for it too.  you never know what is missing from our buses sometimes

Yup, they are stock clips…..prick of a design, in my opinion, as you need child size hands that can dislocate in order to hold the clips in place while you set the screws….
I’ve set the two passenger side clips with rare earth magnets….makes it a lot easier as that area is congested with thick wiring looms, leaving little room for fat hands.
Driver’s side is easy…..

Again, another brilliant solution…..

Just saying that JK looks like normal metal & Righteous spring steel which is what the original was made of!

I've got 'child like hands' read 'small' & can get those inner clips with ease. Had my dash in/out so many times to get the fuel guage working. I will take anyone on in the dashboard remove/replace olympics :-). Heads up my wires are all numbered!

Also the bead under the dash nacelle

$17.60 for a single clip ?
RK known for their opportunism......in my opinion.
Buyer beware.

Gotta be kidding.

I thought you be that good you wouldn't need to number your wires by know.  
My earlier dash doesn't have the 4 clips ,I'd almost take you up on that challenge.
