MG MG Y Type - MG Y Sun roof fixing clips help please

Hi,
When fitting back the restored sun roof to my YB, I realised that it was missing the two fixing clips from the front sides. Checking another roof I have I found that they were missing from that too. (They have to taken off to remove the roofs and I guess they then all go walkabout.)
I can't find a drawing or a photo of them anywhere; the workshop manual calls them 'roof-opening fillets' but they don't appear in any illustrations.
Has anyone got a picture or drawing or reference please, or even a spare pair?
Best regards and good motoring,
Peter

Of course, just after I posted this I found that Mr. Cairns had supplied a drawing of the clips to Hints and Tips years ago. Obviously Neil would know, why didn't I think of him earlier?!
If you have a photo though, I'd still like to see it.

I have made these from scratch in the past when none were available.

I will provide a dimensioned drawing to Paul for the website soon if that will help you Peter ?.

Excellent photos John.

I may have a couple if you want too Peter. Will have to hunt so will go look only if you are firm.

Thanks for these really helpful replies; the pictures are just what I wanted John.
Could you possibly email a copy of your drawings to me Tony?
Paul, yes I would very much like a couple of real clips but not if it means turning the contents of your garage onto the drive.
Thanks again for the help; we're on the last lap with the YB and it's always the little niggly bits that hold it up at the end isn't it?
