Default door lock rod retainer clips part number

hi guys, the only door lock Rod retainer clips that I can find for sale online are from a C3.

they look the same as what our in our C4 door lock rods. But I can't be certain.
Does anybody know where they can be purchased or what part number they are?

this is the retainer clip in question and the online source I have found for it. Even though it looks like I need this exact clip it does not state past 1982

The clip in question is being held by the needle nose pliers

Either of these #'s should work. Either the GM or an equivalent from someone. These should be local. You've got one to match so you should have no problem

GM# 5712678 or 12338100 - Dorman I believe does one for the 12338100. There's a 20150792 also that will work and actually has applications for a C4 -take what you have to a couple GM dealers in the area and they actually might have them in some odd hardware.

If you have an Auveco or W & E fastener vendor close there's other possibilities. I believe a friend keeps a 2273 W & E for his shop.

Do you have an "Anchor Products" vendor in C town? You may also try a body shop for an item that will work. Also, the jobber rack at Canadian Tire or NAPA

Found it at Canadian tire but one clip was 4 bucks lol. Classic example of paying for the result not the part.

I was just at Advance auto today and they had those exact things in a 5-pack of generic clips in the one aisle. They were like $6
