Default 1979 Tach Clips

Does anyone know where I can order the 3 clips the tach connects to on the dash cluster for a 1979. These are the clips that connect to the circuit on the cluster that the tach contacts when installed. Mine have become brittle and broke in half when attempting to remove.

Thanks for any help.

I've torn 95% of my 79 apart and rebuilt it but this is one area I haven't had to go into. Have you tried the various vendors on this forum, Zip had a replacement tach kit for out cars at one time, maybe they have these clips also.

Thanks Gary79. I have tried every vendor that I can think of. The tach kit ZIP provides doesn't include or mention the clips. I might have to figure out a way to hard wire the connection.
