what is this metal clip that holds countersunk screw to chassis?

[arteom]

Hello,

I have a Hagerman Clarinet preamp which is missing one of these metal clips and the corresponding countersunk screw. The clips goes on the chassis, the top panel goes on, a countersunk screw attaches the top panel to chassis via this clip. I'm thinking of selling the preamp and would like to have it all together before I send it off to someone else. Any tips on identifying/acquiring this part would be appreciated.

The chassis is from Lansing, I've reached out to them but yet to hear back.

Cheers,
-Art

Those are common, and used for a bolt instead of tapping a hole, especially in thin metal.
They just snap into a larger hole and stay in place. Clip nut or U clip.

I think they're called speed nuts, at least here in Oz.

Hi,
Attached a link to Amazon that showed some clips that look same as the one you looking for.. If not ignore the suggestion.
You can buy then in any auto part store.

Check your local hardware store first. Take one with you to show the guy.
