Heat sink brackett

[hammerbayer]

I have a Gateway DX4300 with an AVC fan heat sink assembly. Its attached by a spring clip to a plastic bracket. Of course the flimsy plastic pins on the bracket broke off after a few months of use. Heat and plastic don't mix. Anyone have any idea where I can get a replacement bracket, preferably not cheap plastic?

You can get a new heatsink.
