Mechanical Indicator Pins - Little white pieces

Hey guys. I had an oops moment when replacing my indicator cables and one of the little white pins/caps fell in the dash along with the little spring (the part you can see through the indicator window). I’m trying to google where I can find some replacement pins, but can’t seems to come up with anything. Anyone know where I can find just the individual plastic pins?

Do you know the trick of using a small paper clip through the tiny holes to hold them in place??

I had a few of those moments as well and Ocean Performance had the stuff in stock and shipped the same day to me. Great guys that bent over backwards for a 10 dollar sale and they are close to you. I'd call them.

There are tiny holes in both the black plastic squares and in the white pins.
Get the holes lined up by compressing the white pins and insert a small unbent paper clip through the holes to hold the pins in place.
