Arctic Cooling Copper Silent 2L- Broken Clip

[STRETCH]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.overclocking (More info?)

I have managed to snap the spring clip on my Copper Silent 2L whilst
installing it, and wondered if anyone could suggest a location for
spares, if they are even available.

Or would it be possible to obtain another clip from elsewhere that
would fit? Have googled but can't find what I need.

After failing to even get a response from Arctic Cooling, to both
emails and their web form, I thought I would try here.

Thanks

Doesn't the one from the stock AMD cooler fit? or at least be made to fit

I did try another clip from a stock cooler, but by the time I had bent
it to fit across the gap between the fins, it was too misshapen to
latch onto the mobo properly, though this could be down to heavy
handedness on my part!
