Where to find those transmission pan clamp thingies?

Hi all, first time posting after a long time lurking. I have a 2005 T1N which had a partially stripped bolt on one of the corner pieces of the transmission oil pan. I did a dumb thing and tried to retorque it lightly to stay in place but its gone and jiggled itself loose on the highway taking the metal clamp with it. Is there a good place to find these metal clamp pieces for the transmission oil pan? I cant find anything on ebay or mopar or mercedes online stores and most junkyards want to sell the transmission whole. As is I now have a slow drip leak out of the corner.

Is this something I need to try fabricating to replace it? Not even sure what to call these things... there are 6 total clamp things which hold the transmission oil pan on and i lost the one unique corner piece guy :(

Thanks for any insight here!

They are readily available from the dealer chains.

Either MB using you Vin # or the MOPAR system since the NAG1 transmissions is/was used a lot in their products like the Dodge Sprinter & Crossfire.

The spacers (“nuts” ?!) are items 8 (x5) and 9 (x1), the bolt is item 10 (x6) in the attached drawing. (with Mopar and MB p/n)

#8 . 52108334AA . x5 (A 140 271 00 68)
#9 . 05080289AA . x1 (A 140 271 01 68) - the one you lost?
#10 - 52108270AA . x6 (A 140 990 46 01)

The bolts are torqued to 70 inch pounds... about 6 foot pounds.
A few strands of fine wire can help a partially stripped hole.

Asked about this today (my coolant level sensor order is late...)
The #9 corner "clamping body" is $3.50 new at the MB parts counter, and I also found it offered here:

These are the same for almost all NAG1 transmissions. Go for a walk in your local pick-n-pull, and you will likely find several Jeep cherokees (06-09?), dodge sedans, etc, with the NAG1, slide under and unbolt.
