Ahhh, Tony, why didn't I think of that?

I think it actually started out as a piece of Meccano-thickness steel
that was pressed from a sheet, bent and then presumably heat treated,
but starting from a piece of box section is the now blindingly obvious
way to make a replacement. Thanks.

All the jacks have a very similar clip, which is why I thought they
might use a standard, known part.

But if it's a sort of circlip isn't it made out of some form of spring
steel?
