Default inlet manifold fixing

Hello, great rebuild pics, I'm currently working on my engine and had difficulty removing the fixing circled in the picture and had to drill it out. I can't get hold of one anywhere, it doesn't show on any Ford diagrams, do you know where I could get one or even better do you have a spare from an old head, I'm willing to pay good money for it!

Help!!!

Cheers
