Clutch Linkage Spring Clips

Anyone know where you can get these spring clips besides on-line and waiting two weeks? I'm a little pissed that I can't drive the car because of a couple of $4.00 clips.
I am contemplating cutting off the ends and changing these out to heim joints thus eliminating the clip and play in the linkage. I have lots of hiem joints kicking around from newer Ski-Doo sleds I have parted out.
Anyone done this or is there a upgrade kit out there?
