WTB: W123 retainer clip for wood console

[Snibble]

My car's console wood trim has a broken retainer clip. I could have sworn I've seen someone sell replacements that were 3D printed, but now can't find it.

Looking to see if anyone has spare clips available so that I can fix the wood trim that I have.

thanks!

I am a CAD modeler and could draw this up for 3D print and place in my Shapeways store in the near future. I will be replacing the broken one on the console parts I have sent to a wood restoration shop. I need to get a good sample to get dimensions from though. Anyone can then order directly from Shapeways, they print and send... I won't tack on any design profit, just print cost and shipping. I would guess they'd charge around $5 to print and $7 to ship. If anyone has a good one I can borrow?

I've simply put a piece of industrial velcro in place of a broken clip there. Worked pretty well for me.

Yea, it'd work but some of us are obsessive... not saying Mr Snibble is.

I found this thread but his eBay listing has expired, showed price of $19.99, maybe $25 with shipping?
