Those little push-in clips on Atari filters boards...?

You know, the shitty little white clips they put on Atari filter boards, the ones that push in to lock the filter board and PCB in place after you slide them into the cage like some kind of plastic rivet, the ones that are always broken? The hell can I get some to fix up all my Star Wars and Millipede?
 
Late 60's to early 70's Datsun fuse box cover retainers.

Wait, so which is easier to locate : original Atari ones or a late 60's to early 70's Datsun (with it's fuse box cover in place to boot)? :D

Awesome.
 
Necrobumps RULE!! First after the KLOV refresh. LOL :)
No questions left unanswered on KLOV.

As described by the OP, these are the pins which attach an Atari filter PCB to a cage.
Since I've designed new C&D and I,Robot backplanes, I'm curious to see how well they fit together with a cage.

Here's some pics of the fasteners in an original filter board. These old pins tend to be hard and brittle so replacements would be a nice to have.
These originals also tend to be a pain in the @$$ to remove.

"Push-Lock Pin" ... might work.
The filter boards have a 6mm dia hole. Those Leviton might be for a 6mm or 8mm hole = not sure; though Q&A on Amazon implies a 1/4" hole compatibility which is good. :unsure:
Thanks.

EDIT: Just remembered I have some different push type pins which I purchased for my Sencore CR7000 (back flap had this missing).
Unfortunately, that particular pin is for a 8mm hole. So, too big for this 6mm application. :(

Ah, now I konw what' you're talking about! Most of the ones I've seen have pins that are just thumbtack heads or even screw-in heads. Not the taller ones you can pull back out.

EDIT: If you want the flat ones, order from Marco - "plastic rivet". Support the hobby vendors!

Datsun 280z, the car, was available from 1975-78.
Datsun 280 ZZZAP, the game, came out it 1976.
So, yes, either or both are applicable.
Maybe once Ken drove a 280z to fix a ZZZAP? Could have happened. :)

How about these, both 6M and 8M Nylon Push Rivets
