Windshield clips for the 11 bolts?

[WEATHERBY460]

Anyone know where I can find the clips that have a nut on them that hold the windshield on.

Yamaha wants almost $6 a piece....I need 7 of these.

I wonder if autozone sells stuff like this....

any ideas welcomened.

Thanks

I would think that a auto parts store that supplies body shops with parts should have something similiar.

any idea what the correct name of them is?

The Vmax-4 assembly manual calls them "nut springs". Considering the Japanese to English translation, that's probably "spring nuts".

Clip Nuts? I haven't looked on my sled to see what they look like, but if they look like the attached pictures. This site lists them as Clip Nuts. They list them for about $1 a piece. Not sure if they sell to the public, just the first site I found with what I imagine the clips look like.

They show on my parts computer (OEM) as $2.60 CAD..should be about $1.85-$2.00 USD....

I haven't looked at my sled yet, so I don't know what the nuts look like exactly, but here are some links to clip nuts for self tapping screws from JC Whitney. They use these J-clips and U-clips in automotive applications all the time.
