Default Door Panel Emergency *need help*

Re-did my interior door panels on my 69 corvette. They looked great with some new dye and some new inserts. Got to the passenger side door and noticed the clip that holds the door on fell off and now I cant find it.

This is the clip that is on the rear portion of the panel. It looks like its just a piece of thin metal that slides into the door panel and the other end has a screw mount it to the door.

Looks like maybe stainless steel or some other non rust metal, bent a few times and the side that is visible with the screw hole is round instead of square.

Does anyone make these? Does anyone have a spare one they can sell to me if no one makes? How hard would it be to fabricate.

You can get those at any of the vette suppliers, I think they all come in pairs, not too expensive, only set you back a few bucks, unless you are close to one or are ordering other items, the shipping will probably cost more than the part, unless someone on the forum has one they can throw in the mail for you.

If I had an extra one I would of helped you out, but my Vette didn't even come with the door panels. I'm sure someone here can help you out, but if not try Zip-corvette.com or willcox.
