OK, so I went out in my 24 degree garage earlier (24 Fahrenheit that is) and took off the headlight trim from the drivers side. The clip and springs are rusty but still intact and doing their job. Don't want to mess too much with that side, but can get some measurements off the clip that is there. Making a list of a few other parts for Jim Carter's, and will place that order soon.
Gdads51, I will certainly consider putting the ad in the Parts Wanted forum. Yes, even a banged up bucket could offer the clip and springs needed.
Thanks to everyone so far with your input, appreciate it. If I end up making the clip, I will try to put a picture or two up and you can check it out.
