Default vent glass regulator spring clip 64 coupe

One of the regulators had this clip, the other didn't. I tried to find it in ZIP catalog but could not find it. Anyone?

That clip is used to 'firm up' and take the slop out of the regulator window movement. I had it on both sides in m '63. I've heard it both ways - you still use it with the repro rebuild kits and you do NOT use it with the repro rebuild kits.

Not much help but that's what I know.

I may fabricate a replacement clip myself (a simplified version) to take excess slop out, ordering one means it takes 3 weeks before I get it...and I am in a hurry

Some thin aluminum stock should work and nobody ever sees it anyway - worth a shot IMO.
