OK Durantonians I need you to check your stash of parts and see if you can help me come up with the below part for my headlight. Only need one since I have the other and it's in find shape. This holds the headlight bulb socket in place on the reflector. Already looked at the Restoration Supply catalog. Don't see it. Maybe someone has an extra?

Welp, If you are not able to find one, you might try your hand at making one...If you can find some spring steel of the same gauge cut the stock in a rectangle somewhat longer than your pattern clip, than bend it to the contour of your pattern, set your pattern clip on the stock and scribe the outline of the pattern, than using a dramel grinder with a thin cut-off disk trim the outline, and using a small round stone grind out the hole...This is easier said than done but I have made similar clips for my headlights in this fasion...You may also need to heat to bend and quench to temper.
