Keyboard stabiliser holder/clip ?

Long time lurker first-time poster haha
Not to sound melodramatic but you really are my last hope at this point.

I had an A1200 given to me that was found at a recycling place and was in a pretty sorry state. After a lot of cleaning, recapping, and repairing a couple of traces electronically it's back to working condition. The only thing not right at the moment is the Numpad enter key. it's missing the little clips that attach to the stabiliser bar and I cannot for the life of me find any anywhere.

Could you guys point me in the right direction or suggest an alternative?

You mean something like this?

There are several posts on ebay but you will have to go individually to see which the seller has remaining.

No, sadly not the plunger themselves, what I'm talking about is the little clips that plug into the bottom of the keys that need stabilisation that hold the stabilising bar.

I guess you mean the small pieces of metal rods that are bent?

Or the bits of T shaped plastic that go in the key for the rods to fit in?

Either way I can help you out

This might give you some ideas if you can't find a replacement:

I have in the past 3D printed those clips, but for a keyboard that was very different.
