broken fixing clip downlighter INT2826 - how to fix/source?

I have a downlighter in the kitchen where the fixing clip has broken and I need to source another one or fix the one I've got. Can't find an immediate source of these parts aside from buying a whole new fitting (model number above) but I don't see the point of that when it's only the clip. The fitting works fine otherwise, it just hangs down at one end for the lack of a clip. My only other idea is to use a magnet (if the housing is magnetic). Any pointers or suggestions welcome. clips slots into the fitting and screws into the cupboard above. Have tried double sided tape. Does not work.

Thanks

Either...

Unclip it and take it to a hardware store and buy something similar to this picture...

Or... Dont bother messing around - just reposition the remaining clip to be in the centre of your slim flourescent fitting - like the fulcrum of a seesaw - then any dangle down will be minimal.

Or... Just screw a short length of soft wire across one end of the fitting to support it.

The fitting is unlikely to be magnetic

By the way... Google searches for your INT 2826 show them being sold for silly money (£30 or so) - last year I bought similar downlighters from a specialist lighting supplier (Koltrane) for about £9 each.

Good luck...
