PowerBook 5xx clutch cover clips

Has anyone designed 3D printed replacements for these? I’m going to be fixing a couple of 500 series hinges but this cover isn’t going to stay put like this.

Should be as simple as designing a part to clue onto the curved bit of the plastic but I would know how to measure the curve to do it myself.

Found the part I was looking for, it was hiding in plain sight the entire time!

PowerBook 500 series hinge fix + center cover clip by gregorhouse

This is a fix I made for my PowerBook 540c, that had broken hinge threads on the case. I printed it in ABS 100% infill, but I think the stronger the better, so if you have PET go with it. I wrote a thread on 68kmla forum about it, I cipy the text and the link below. I corrected the display board...

Never saw that this link also had the clutch cover clips despite seeing it many times...
