Default Need Charcoal Canister Mounting Tabs

Does anyone have a mount tab for the charcoal canisters used on GM cars in the late '80s and early '90s? See below. They clip into the lip at the bottom of the canister and one of mine has broken off. My canister is fine, I just need a mounting tab.
Thanks,
Bill

I think that'* going to be a junkyard part, and then only if it isn't rusted out on every one of them. If it were me, I'd fab something similar with a chunk of metal from Home Depot.

Mount it with zip ties.

Rust is not a problem in this area, but it seems most junk yards have either purged older models or are only interested in selling the complete canister. I could fabricate it myself but it'* a special car and I'm trying to keep it 100% factory original.

Ah yes I understand that. At the same time, I don't think you'll find what you're looking for any other way.

You want to keep it original but have a problem buying the canister. How much does the wrecker want for one?

Prices vary between $50-$100 if you can find the correct part number, and often do not include the mounting tabs if they have been pulled.
