I found and bought the Clip in the first photo a few days ago just to see if I can fabricate one. The second photo is of a 6 Cylinder Fan Shroud Bracket that I made. Turns out that there is already a totally unrelated part that is the exact same width and thickness, I'm not going to share what it is just yet and no it's not the V8 version, that shouldn't be too difficult to bend and have worked out how to make the curled edges on the lower half without the need of any special tooling.
The first one will not be 100% correct. The part I plan to modify already has the small notch at the top but it is somewhat round, not square as the original. Once I have the bends worked out, I'll figure out how to make the square notch. Once that's done I should have an exact copy of the original.
If successful, I'll gladly supply a Clip to anyone who may need one...no promises yet though.
Thanks
Ray
