Default Clip that holds heat shield to air box lid

Can these be bought seperately?
I may have lost mine and will need a new one

mat ive got a very cool mod to this that looks better than o.e

basically get a brand new nut on bolt, slip the bolt in the airboc side and then tighten the nut on the insde of the airbox, it does the job perfectly and you cant see it, it looks exactly the same as o.e the best thing is youve got adjustment, the more you tighten the closer it pulls the heatshield up, you can get it to line up perfectly witht he cam cover like ive done

so just to confirm with you, slip the head of the bolt into the airbox sleeve/hole, then the threaded part goes through the hole in the heatshield, then nut on the inside of the heatshield, really works well and looks o.e except youve got adjustment!!
