fuel filter "blue clip" replacement

Well, being an idiot, I went and broke the blue retaining clip on my fuel filter. Did a search on here and found all kinds of talk about removing it, but nothing on how to fix it, besides buying a replacement fuel line or using a zip tie. This is about the stupidest thing ford has done, not offering (listing) just the clip. I was on the phone to several ford dealers today and none of them listed this clip, only the fuel line for $190 list price…. Thanks ford.

Anyways, I ended up getting this clip from the dealer and seems to do the job perfect, just want to pass this along for others that are searching-



I ended up filing a little off the shoulder (circled in red) to allow the clip to sit a little further in-
