Whilst changing hardware i have stupidly broke two twist clips for a P4 socket 775 heatsink. These are the plastic type and are pritty popular. If anyone doesnt know what i mean have a look at this product:

If you click the 3rd picture in you can see the clips that attatch the heatsink to the motherboard.
Anyway instead of investing in a new heatsink i want to replace the clips (which are standard sizes) so does anyone know where i can purchase these online.... I cant find them anywhere and surely i cant be the only person in the world to do this.
BORING PART ---- Please no idiots telling me to contact the manufacturer iv explored this avenue and the manufacturer cant get back to me for another 3 weeks. I want to buy these clips so no ideas on any other methods of attatching the heatsink to the board. If your going to answer then i simply want a website that is based in the UK that sells these, no other advice. Thanks!

I did some looking around and could find any of these clips either. I would try a couple of the local computer repair shops. One would think that they would have what you are looking for in that allot of the intel CPU coolers are replaced do to noise. I do allot of computer building and repair and I have quite a few "replaced", "intel" fans around.
