    I found a source for them a few years ago and can't find it.

    Thanks,

    I appreciate the effort, but no banana for you! This is the retainer that holds the reflector on the LWB turn signals.

    my guess is that there is no part# for it because it probably was never available separately...innit?

    having made one, the thickness is important as the back side is a friction fit. Too thin and it won't hold, too thick and you can't get it into the back slot.

    I'm with franz in this one. Never offered as a separate part. Kind of like the window regulator pivot pin that was first produced and offered by Lukes & Shorman many decades ago. Thousands of those things have been sold and Lukes & Shorman's part has been copied/ripped off by many a Porsche Purveyor since.
