Does anyone know where I can get some of those black clips that hold the tow bar in the storage area? What do you even call them?

you can navigate to the page that has them, plain or vinyl coated.

Many thanks to Curt I got the exact same clip as used in the storage compartment. I bolted it to a bit of plastic, and epoxied it to the storage compartment lid. I used acrylic for the base plate because it's what I had, but I'd recommend another material. The Bogert bar is now properly retained!

: clip screwed to base plate

: base plate showing countersunk screw

: storage compartment lid prepared for epoxy

: bogert tow bar properly stowed

Nice job!!!
Unfortunately in my steam gauge early version, I dont have the luggage area, so I cannot do like you.
Too bad.
