1979 yota clutch clip problems

hey guys, here the deal
79 20r SR5 longbed 2x4
I bought the truck from a kid in over his head ($150 and it has a factory tach!!!).
Im putting the trany back in it. i bought a new throw-out bearing (old one was gone). I cant find the clips that hold the bearing assembly to the clutch fork arm. i`ve checked every parts place around and struck out. i have some aircraft grade safety wire but i`d like to use the right clips. anyone know where i can get some clips?? boneyards around here rarely have pre-89 toyotas that aren`t stripped down to the frame. I`d love any help i can get.
thanks
trevor

The dealer should definitely have them, my clips from my '83 were missing and I got new ones at the dealer for just a couple bucks.

I shouldn't be telling anyone this but I put my engine and tranny back together without using the clips at all. It's been fine so far but I'm sure I'll be pulling it all apart again someday.
