Does anyone have a front indicator lens spring clip ?

Hi, Somehow, somewhere, I have lost the spring clip that secures the front indicator lens in place it's for a pre - facelift car, the lens unit is ok, it's just the clip that i need, I've glued the unit in place for now, but will prefer to get the proper part, I've searched all the normal places, Rimmers etc, but the clip isn't listed, and i don't see the point in changing the light, which isn't damaged just because of a missing clip , so if anyone has a spare, or can quote me a part number etc,

I've made up a couple in the past when mine decided to ping off into an alternate universe when trying to replace blown bulbs out of spire nuts. Fortunately i was able to find some long ones that were thin enough to file down to the correct width to slide into the indicator housing and with enough length to form the correct shape to hold the housing into place.
Similar thing as the undertray clips but longer
