Turret Ring Clips

Does anyone know where I can get these clips. They attach to the top of the turret bearing ring and push the roof down on to the turret support. The ones in the TM have a higher rise about an inch. The ones I am looking for are about 1/2 inch high. I need 10 of them.

Anyone know of any sources.

In an emergency, you might be able to make these out of angle iron/steel and a metal brake or even a vice.

The original design for the lower profile (silver and the first generation black bearings were actually made up of 6? pieces the formed a complete circle when installed.
I think they substituted for the smaller clips like you have shown because they were easier to make. Then they changed the thickness of the bearing so they came out with a taller clip.
I think you need something like 11 or 14 per bearing now ?. 86 humv had some of each I believe.
